In this paper, we discusse the locking phenomenon of the finite element method for the pure displacement boundary value problem in the planar elasticity as Lame constant λ- ∞. The locking-free scheme of Crouziex-Raviart element was pro- posed and anaIyzed by Brenner et al.[2] and [3]. We firstly present the derivation of Brenner’s scheme, then propose and analyse a locking-free scheme of noncon- forming rectangle finite element.
