We present some new analytical tools for the error analysis of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for linear elasticity. These tools allow us to analyze more variants of HDG method using the projection-based approach, which renders the error analysis simple and concise. The key result is a tailored projection for the Lehrenfeld-Schöberl type HDG (HDG+ for simplicity) methods. By using the projection we recover the error estimates of HDG+ for steady-state and time-harmonic elasticity in a simpler analysis. We also present a semi-discrete (in space) HDG+ method for transient elastic waves and prove it is uniformly-in-time optimal convergent by using the projection-based error analysis. Numerical experiments supporting our analysis are presented at the end.
