Abstract Based on the Hellinger-Reissner mixed variational principle, a second-order cone programming optimized finite element method for elastic and elastoplastic analyses of Cosserat continuum (named CosFEM-SOCP) is proposed. To examine the correctness and effectiveness of CosFEM-SOCP, three well-known numerical examples are revisited. In the plane-strain elastic problem of stress concentration around a circular hole, the stress concentration factors calculated by CosFEM-SOCP are in good agreement with the existing solutions, and the correctness of CosFEM-SOCP can be verified. In the analysis of load-displacement response of a flexible strip footing resting on the soil ground, it is found that load-displacement response may be affected by the internal characteristic length l c, and generally a larger l c may result in a wider and deeper slip surface as well as more elements being included in the shear bands. From the plane-strain soil strip with the Drucker-Prager (DP) failure criterion subjected to the prescribed incremental displacement, it can also be observed that the pathologically mesh-dependent problem can be partially or even completely removed by employing CosFEM-SOCP, as long as the mesh is fine enough so that the average element size in the mesh discretization is smaller than l c.
