Abstract

A mixed variational principle is presented for the geometrically linear micropolar continuum. Then a suitable discretization and its implementation are discussed, resulting in an improved element behaviour for micropolar localization analysis. The intriguing element performance is demonstrated for the case of localization within a compression problem.
