The paper reports some numerical experiments on the effectivity of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu error estimate (1987) and comparisons of two adaptive mesh generators: ADMESH, developed by Jin and Wiberg (1990) and MAD2D by Peraire et al. (1987) and Zhu et al. (1990-91). From the experiments we observe that: (1) without any empirical correction, the effectivity of the error estimate for linear triangular elements is good if post-processed continuous stresses are obtained by adequately using an iterative stress recovery procedure (Zienkiewicz et al., 1985), and is also acceptable by using a simple `averaging' procedure; (2) these two mesh generators are basically comparable.
