Arguments are presented showing the inadequacy of the minimum total potential energy principle for describing the capabilities of the displacement-based finite element formulation. It is shown that, to explain many significant features of the displacement-based procedure, it is necessary to use the general Hu-Washizu principle based on three independent fields, and the Hellinger-Reissner two-field principle. Applications where the Hu-Washizu interpretation is a must to provide a completely rational basis include the modeling of constrained media elasticity, stress resultant computations where the modulus matrix varies over the element domain, and thermal stress recovery in problems where the temperature field varies over the element domain
