A Stabilized CR-CR Method for Fourth-Order Elliptic Problems

Abstract

We present a CR-CR method for strain gradient elasticity and prove its robustness with respect to the Lame parameter λ and the length scale ι. The method introduces the strain as an independent symmetric tensor and discretizes both the strain and the displacement using CR elements. The commuting properties of the CR interpolation operator with the relevant differential operators leads the robustness with respect to λ. A stabilization term weakly imposes the relation between the strain and the symmetric gradient of the displacement. The method also applies directly to the biharmonic equation and singularly perturbed fourth-order problems. For these problems, we prove that the CR-CR method is equivalent to an RT-CR method proposed by Huang and Tang. This result extends the classical equivalence between the RT-P0 mixed method and the CR method for the Poisson equation to fourth-order problems. The equivalence shows that the stabilization term arises naturally from the RT-CR mixed formulation.
