Abstract

The subject of a posteriori error estimation is widely studied, and a variety of such error estimates have been used for elasticity problems in recent years. Of particular interest is the work carried out in ^[^1^,^2^]. In this paper, we derive a new a posteriori error estimator for the quadratic nonconforming Fortin-Soulie element for the error in an energy-like norm. Then, we illustrate the new error bound by presenting some numerical examples, and show an example of a sequence of adaptively refined meshes.
