Abstract
We consider the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a polygonal domain with one reentrant corner. We introduce new nonconforming finite element discretizations based on mortar techniques and singular functions. The main idea introduced in this paper is the replacement of cut-off functions by mortar element techniques on the boundary of the domain. As advantages, the new discretizations do not require costly numerical integrations and have smaller a priori error estimates and condition numbers. Based on such an approach, we prove optimal accuracy error bounds for the discrete solution. Based on such techniques, we also derive new extraction formulas for the stress intensive factor. We establish optimal accuracy for the computed stress intensive factor. Numerical examples are presented to support our theory.
