Abstract:      We propose a new mixed variational formulation for the
equations of linear elasticity.  It does not require symmetric tensors
and consequently is easy to discretize by adapting mixed finite elements
developed for scalar second order elliptic equations.

Keywords:      mixed finite element method, elasticity
