✦ Synopsis
Following from the indeterminacy of the nonsymmetric tensor of first order stress functions, satisfaction of the linear three-dimensional translational equilibrium equations can be achieved by the use of only six non-zero first order stress functions instead of nine. Utilizing this fact, redundant variable approximations in assumed nonsymmetric stress-based procedures can be avoided on the one hand, and, on the other, independent Euler equations and natural boundary conditions of mixed variational principles using nonsymmetric stresses as independent variables can be obtained. In this paper, the independent governing equations of linear elasticity in terms of stresses and rotations are derived using Fraeijs de Veubeke's complementary energy-based mixed variational principle.

Enforcement of the symmetry constraint on the stress tensor in dual mixed variational principles using nonsymmetric stresses is usually achieved through introducing the rotations as Lagrange multipliers. This paper presents a new way for imposition of the symmetry requirement on the stress tensor as
## 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
The main subject of this paper is to study how the chosen constitutive model of a saturated porous body undergoing drying process influences the numerically estimated drying induced stresses and deformations. To compare the results one assumes the material of a convectively dried cylinder to be both
