The convergence analysis of a Morley type rectangular element for the fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problem is considered. A counterexample is provided to show that the element is not uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter. A modified finite element approximation scheme is used to get convergent results; the corresponding error estimate is presented under anisotropic meshes. Numerical experiments are also carried out to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, aC0nonconforming quadrilateral element is proposed to solve the fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problem. For each convex quadrilateralQ, the shape function space is the union ofS21(Q*) and a bubble space. The degrees of freedom are defined by the values at vertices and midpoints on the edges, and the mean values of integrals of normal derivatives over edges. The local basis functions of our element can be expressed explicitly by a new reference quadrilateral rather than by solving a linear system. It is shown that the method converges uniformly in the perturbation parameter. Lastly, numerical tests verify the convergence analysis.
