Abstract: In this article, we consider eigenfunctions $u$ of the bi-harmonic operator, i.e., $riangl{e}^{2}u=lambd{a}^{2}u$ on $Omega$ with some homogeneous linear boundary conditions. We assume that $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ ($ngeq2$) is a $C^{infty}$ bounded domain, $partialOmega$ is piecewise analytic and $partialOmega$ is analytic except a set $GammasubseteqpartialOmega$ which is a finite union of some compact $(n-2)$ dimensional submanifolds of $partialOmega$. The main result of this paper is that the measure upper bounds of the nodal sets of the eigenfunctions is controlled by $sqrtlambda$. We first define a frequency function and a doubling index related to these eigenfunctions. With the help of establishing the monotonicity formula, doubling conditions and various a priori estimates, we obtain that the $(n-1)$ dimensional Hausdorff measures of nodal sets of these eigenfunctions in a ball are controlled by the frequency function and $sqrtlambda$. In order to further control the frequency function with $sqrtlambda$, we first establish the relationship between the frequency function and the doubling index, and then separate the domain $Omega$ into two parts: a domain away from $Gamma$ and a domain near $Gamma$, and develop iteration arguments to deal with the two cases respectively.
