“…It is worth recalling that many interesting strategies have been developed in order to stabilize the methods at hand (cf., for instance, Klaas et al, 1999, Maniatty et al, 2002, Nagtegaal and Fox, 1996, Reese et al, 1999, Reese and Wriggers, 2000, Simo and Armero, 1992. However, a satisfactory analysis of finite element methods for finite strain problems is still missing.…”
