## Abstract A least‐squares mixed finite element method for linear elasticity, based on a stress‐displacement formulation, is investigated in terms of computational efficiency. For the stress approximation quadratic Raviart‐Thomas elements are used and these are coupled with the quadratic nonconfor

Abstract
The displacement‐based formulation of the method of finite spheres is observed to exhibit volumetric ‘locking’ when incompressible or nearly incompressible deformations are encountered. In this paper, we present a displacement/pressure mixed formulation as a solution to this problem. We analyse the stability and optimality of the formulation for several discretization schemes using numerical inf–sup tests. Issues concerning computational efficiency are also discussed.

Results obtained with the finite element method are greatly affected by the overall dimensions of the mesh and the number and size of the elements used. Proper choice of the boundary conditions is also necessary to obtain an accurate estimate of the unknowns of the problem. This paper discusses some
