The nonconforming virtual element method for elasticity problems

We present the nonconforming virtual element method for linear elasticity problems in the pure displacement formulation. This method is uniformly convergent for the nearly incompressible case. The optimal convergence in the H1 norm is proved under some regularity assumptions. We mention that, for the lowest-order case on triangular meshes the nonconforming virtual element method coincides with the nonconforming finite element method presented by...
