Abstract

In this work we present a consistent reduction of the relaxed micromorphic model to its corresponding two-dimensional planar model, such that its capacity to capture discontinuous dilatation fields is preserved. As a direct consequence of our approach, new conforming finite elements for Hdev(Curl,A)H^\mathrm{dev}(\mathrm{Curl},A) become necessary. We present two novel Hdev(Curl,A)H^\mathrm{dev}(\mathrm{Curl},A)-conforming finite element spaces, of which one is a macro element based on Clough--Tocher splits, as well as primal and mixed variational formulations of the planar relaxed micromorphic model. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach with two numerical examples.
