Abstract:   Multigrid methods for parameterdependent problems 
are discussed.  The contraction numbers of the algorithms are 
proved within a unifying framework to be bounded away from one,
independent of the parameter and the mesh levels.  Examples
include the pure displacement and pure traction boundary value 
problems in planar linear elasticity, the Timoshenko beam problem, 
and the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem.
