In this paper we address several issues arising from a singularly perturbed fourth order problem with small parameterε. First, we introduce a new family of non-conforming elements. We then prove that the corresponding finite element method is robust with respect to the parameterεand uniformly convergent to orderh1/2. In addition, we analyze the effect of treating the Neumann boundary condition weakly by Nitsche’s method. We show that such treatment is superior when the parameterεis smaller than the mesh sizehand obtain sharper error estimates. Such error analysis is not restricted to the proposed elements and can easily be carried out to other elements as long as the Neumann boundary condition is imposed weakly. Finally, we discuss the local error estimates and the pollution effect of the boundary layers in the interior of the domain.
