Error Estimates of Morley Triangular Element Satisfying the Maximal Angle Condition

چکیده
In this paper, we establish the convergence of a nonconforming triangular Morley element for the plate bending problem for some degenerate meshes. An explicit bound for the interpolation error is derived for arbitrary triangular meshes without any assumptions. The optimal convergence rates of moment error and rotation error are derived for triangular meshes satisfying the maximal angle condition. Our results can also be extended to the three dimensional Morley element presented recently in [41]. Finally, some numerical results are reported that confirm our theoretical results.

Error Estimates for the Raviart-Thomas Interpolation Under the Maximum Angle Condition
The classical error analysis for the Raviart-Thomas interpolation on triangular elements requires the so-called regularity of the elements, or equivalently, the minimum angle condition. However, in the lowest order case, optimal order error estimates have been obtained in [1] replacing the regularity hypothesis by the maximum angle condition, which was known to be sufficient to prove estimates ...
متن کاملA posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element methods for fourth-order problems on rectangles
The a posteriori error analysis of conforming finite element discretisations of the biharmonic problem for plates is well established, but nonconforming discretisations are more easy to implement in practice. The a posteriori error analysis for the Morley plate element appears very particular because two edge contributions from an integration by parts vanish simultaneously. This miracle does no...
متن کاملAnisotropic error bounds of Lagrange interpolation with any order in two and three dimensions
In this paper, using the Newton's formula of Lagrange interpolation, we present a new proof of the anisotropic error bounds for Lagrange interpolation of any order on the triangle, rectangle, tetrahedron and cube in a unified way. It is known that the polynomial interpolations are the foundations of construction the finite elements and the interpolation error estimates play a key role in derivi...
متن کاملFinite Element Error Estimates for Critical Growth Semilinear Problems without Angle Conditions
In this article we consider a priori error and pointwise estimates for finite element approximations of solutions to semilinear elliptic boundary value problems in d > 2 space dimensions, with nonlinearities satisfying critical growth conditions. It is well-understood how mesh geometry impacts finite element interpolant quality, and leads to the reasonable notion of shape regular simplex meshes...
متن کاملEquivalent a posteriori error estimates for spectral element solutions of constrained optimal control problem in one dimension
In this paper, we study spectral element approximation for a constrained optimal control problem in one dimension. The equivalent a posteriori error estimators are derived for the control, the state and the adjoint state approximation. Such estimators can be used to construct adaptive spectral elements for the control problems.
