Abstract
In this paper, a non-C0 double set parameter finite element method is presented for the clamped Kirchhoff plate with an elastic unilateral obstacle. A new high accuracy error estimate with order O(h2) in the broken energy norm is derived by use of a series of novel approaches, including some special features of the element and an incomplete biquadratic interpolation operator. At the same time, some experimental results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.
