The article is devoted to comparison of finite element marking criteria for adaptive mesh refinement while solving plane Cosserat elasticity problems. The goal is to compare the resulting adaptive meshes obtained with different marking strategies. Mesh refinement and error control is done using the functional type a posteriori error majorant. Implemented algorithms use the zero-order Raviart-Thomas approximation on triangular meshes. Four widely used marking criteria are utilized for mesh adaptation. The comparative analysis is presented for two plane-strain problems.
