Eigenvalue approximations from below using Morley elements

Rannacher discovered by numerical results that the Morley element eigenvalues could approximate the exact eigenvalues from below. This discovery is very important in engineering and mechanics computing. This note provides a theoretical proof for Rannacher’s observations.
