Internal finite element approximation in the dual variational method for the biharmonic problem. (English) Zbl 0584.65068

Apl. Mat. 30, 255-273 (1985).
The paper presents a conforming finite element method for the dual variational formulation of the biharmonic problem with mixed boundary conditions. This allows \(C^ 0\)-elements to be used when the primal problem requires \(C^ 1\)-elements. The solution yields the second derivatives of the solution. The method depends on the existence of a vector potential for the equilibrium bending moment.
