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.

Abstract We present a class of nonconforming virtual element methods for general fourth-order partial differential equations in two dimensions. We develop a generic approach for constructing the necessary projection operators and virtual element spaces. Optimal error estimates in the energy norm are provided for general linear fourth-order problems with varying coefficients. We also discuss fourth-order perturbation problems and present a novel nonconforming scheme which is uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter without requiring an enlargement of the space. Numerical tests are carried out to verify the theoretical results. We conclude with a brief discussion on how our approach can easily be applied to nonlinear fourth-order problems.

AbstractWe present novel techniques for obtaining the basic estimates of virtual element methods in terms of the shape regularity of polygonal/polyhedral meshes. We also derive new error estimates for the Poisson problem in two and three dimensions.
