<br/><br/> he study of achieving economical finite element solution of specified accuracy is conducted,  including three essential ingredients (i) a posteriori error estimating process, (ii) adaptive process,  (iii) implementation of the predicted refinement. The Z2 -error estimator is adopted in the study  to indicate the region where local refinement is needed. With hand h-p adaptive process, the  refinement algorithm and the data structure for mesh enrichment of subdomain are presented. At  last, plane stress/strain elements are cooperated as numerical examples.
