In this paper, a class of new immersed interface. finite element methods (IIFEM) is developed to solve elasticity interface problems with homogeneous and non-homogeneous jump conditions in two dimensions. Simple non-body-fitted meshes are used. For homogeneous jump conditions, both non-conforming and conforming basis functions are constructed in such a way that they satisfy the natural jump conditions. For non-homogeneous jump conditions, a pair of functions that satisfy the same non-homogeneous jump conditions are constructed using a level-set representation of the interface. With such a pair of functions, the discontinuities across the interface in the solution and flux are removed; and an equivalent elasticity interface problem with homogeneous jump conditions is formulated. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that such methods have second order convergence.
