We will partly follow the modification of Chapelle and Stenberg [1998]. The ad-
vantage and the disadvantagge of the two models were elucidated by Pitkäranta
and Suri [2000].
Let t,h < 1. We again start with the minimization of the functional (6.7), but
now combine a part of the shear term with the bending part:
t 2

|∇ w θ |

where

Thus, we seek (w, θ) X = H 0 () × H 0 () 2
such that

t 2 ( w θ, v φ) 0 = (f, w) 0
a p (w, θ ; v, φ) +
for all (v, φ) X. ( 6 . 21 )
By analogy with the derivation of (6.2) from (5.7), with the introduction of (mod-
ified) shear terms γ :
= t 2 ( w θ) , we now get the following mixed problem
with penalty term. Find (w, θ) X and γ M such that
a p (w, θ ; v, φ) + ( v φ,γ) 0 = (f, v) 0
for all (v, φ) X,
( 6 . 22 )
( w θ,η) 0 t 2 (γ, η) 0 =
for all η M.

The essential difference compared to (6.2) is the coercivity of the enhanced form
a p .

= c() > 0 such that
