Abstract
The purpose of this work is to study mortar methods for linear elasticity using standard low order finite element spaces. Based on residual stabilization, we introduce a stabilized mortar method for linear elasticity and compare it to the unstabilized mixed mortar method. For simplicity, both methods use a Lagrange multiplier defined on a trace mesh inherited from one side of the interface only. We derive a quasi-optimality estimate for the stabilized method and present the stability criteria of the mixed P1−P1 approximation. Our numerical results demonstrate the stability and the convergence of the methods for tie contact problems. Moreover, the results show that the mixed method can be successfully extended to three dimensional problems.
