Abstract

The multiscale hybrid-mixed (MHM) method consists of a multi-level strategy to approximate the solution of boundary value problems with heterogeneous coefficients. In this context, we propose a family of low-order finite elements for the linear elasticity problem which are free from Poisson locking. The finite elements rely on face degrees of freedom associated with multiscale bases obtained from local Neumann problems with piecewise polynomial interpolations on faces. We establish sufficient refinement levels on the fine-scale mesh such that the MHM method is well-posed, optimally convergent under local regularity conditions, and locking-free. Two-dimensional numerical tests assess theoretical results.
