C. Lacour et Y. Maday, ON THE CONVERGENCE OF THE DISCRETE KIRCHHOFF TRIANGLES APPROXIMATION FOR THE MORTAR METHOD, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 326(10), 1998, pp. 1237-1242
This paper deals with the analysis of a non-conforming domain decompos
ition method, the mortar element method for a shell model approximated
by a D.K.T. finite element method. Ne present a mathematical analysis
of the method and derive optimal consistency error and best fit error
