Abstract
We present a precise anisotropic interpolation error estimate for the Morley finite element method (FEM) and apply it to fourth-order elliptic equations. We do not impose the shape-regularity mesh condition in the analysis. Anisotropic meshes can be used for this purpose. The main contributions of this study include providing a new proof of the term consistency. This enables us to obtain an anisotropic consistency error estimate. The core idea of the proof involves using the relationship between the Raviart-Thomas and Morley finite-element spaces. Our results indicate optimal convergence rates and imply that the modified Morley FEM may be effective for errors.
