contents In this paper, we propose and analyze a mixed virtual element method for the approximation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the two-dimensional elasticity eigenvalue problem. Under standard assumptions on polygonal meshes, we prove the convergence of the discrete solution operator to its continuous counterpart as the mesh size tends to zero. Relying on the spectral theory of compact operators, we establish the spectral correctness of the method and derive error estimates for both eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. A series of numerical experiments is presented to support the theoretical analysis. The results confirm the predicted convergence rates and show that the method is locking-free and able to approximate the spectrum accurately, independently of the shape of the polygonal elements in the mesh.
