Optimal Order Convergence

In this paper, we suggest a new patch condition for nonconforming mixed finite elements (MFEs) on parallelepiped and provide a framework for the convergence. Also, we introduce a new family of nonconforming MFE space satisfying the new patch condition. The numerical experiments show that the new MFE shows optimal order convergence in Hdiv and L2-norm for various problems with discontinuous coefficient case.

We analyze the convergence of a mixed finite element method introduced by Zienkiewicz, Taylor, Papadopoulos and Oñate for the Reissner–Mindlin plate model. In order to do this, we compare it with a method which is known to be convergent with optimal order uniformly in the plate thickness. We show that the difference between the solutions of both methods is of higher order than the error. In particular the method does not present locking and is optimal order convergent. We also present several numerical experiments which confirm the similar behavior of both methods.

Element Method

Expanded mixed finite element method is introduced to approximate the two-dimensional Sobolev equation. This formulation expands the standard mixed formulation in the sense that three unknown variables are explicitly treated. Existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution are demonstrated. Optimal order error estimates for both the scalar and two vector functions are established.

Optimal Order Convergence

We have developed new nonconforming mixed finite element methods for linear elasticity with a pure traction (displacement) boundary condition based on the Hellinger–Reissner variational principle using rectangular elements. Convergence analysis yields an optimal (suboptimal) convergence rate of [Formula: see text] for the L2-error of the stress and [Formula: see text] for the displacement in the pure traction (displacement) boundary problem. However, numerical experiments have yielded optimal-order convergence rates for both stress and displacement in both problems and have shown superconvergence for the displacement at the midpoint of each element. Moreover, we observed that the optimal convergence rates are still valid for large λ.
