Abstract:
Two new locking-free nonconforming finite elements for the pure displacement planar elasticity problem are presented. Convergence rates of the elements are uniformly optimal with respect to λ. The energy norm and L2 norm errors are proved to be O(h2) and O(h3), respectively. Numerical tests confirm the theoretical analysis.
