  A dual hybrid Virtual Element scheme for plane linear elastic problems is
presented and analysed. In particular, stability and convergence results have
been established. The method, which is first order convergent, has been
numerically tested on two benchmarks with closed form solution, and on a
typical microelectromechanical system. The numerical outcomes have proved that
the dual hybrid scheme represents a valid alternative to the more classical
low-order displacement-based Virtual Element Method.
