In the second part of our investigation on a posteriori error estimates and
a posteriori error control in finite element analysis in elasticity, we fo
cus on robust a posteriori error bounds. First we establish a residual-base
d a posteriori error estimate which is reliable and efficient up to higher-
order terms and lambda -independent multiplicative constants; the Lame cons
tant lambda, steers the incompressibility. Second we show the robust effici
ency and reliability of averaging techniques in certain norms. Numerical ev
idence supports that the reliability of depends on the smoothness of given
right-hand sides and is independent of the structure of a shape-regular mes
