Imposing Dirichlet Boundary Conditions with Lagrange Multipliers: stable mixed formulation

888 Views Asked by At

I have a simple elastostatic problem defined by the following weak formulation:

Find $u$ for $\forall v \in H^{1}$

$\int_{\Omega}\epsilon(u):\sigma(v)\ d\Omega = 0$

$u = u_{0}\ on\ \Gamma_{D}$

Where $\epsilon$ and $\sigma$ are strain and stress tensor and the $u$ is a displacement vector. Now introduce Lagrange multipliers $\lambda$ to impose boundary conditions on $\Gamma_{D}$. New mixed formulation i formulated looks:

Find $u,\lambda$:

$\int_{\Omega}\epsilon(u):\sigma(v)\ d\Omega + \int_{\Gamma_{D}}\lambda\cdot v\ ds + \int_{\Gamma_{D}}\mu\cdot u\ ds$$= \int_{\Gamma_{D}}\mu\cdot u_{0}\ ds$

Where $v$ and $\mu$ are test functions from a mixed space $H^{1}\times H^{1}$ (linear P1/P1).

The formulation seems not work. Could you give me some hints how to quickly investigate the properties of defined mixed scheme?
