Finite element Galerkin methods for plate vibration problems: error analysis and efficient implementation
摘要
The partial differential equation governing the vibration of a flat plate is reformulated as a Schrödinger-type system subject to one of three types of boundary conditions, namely, hinged, mixed and clamped. To solve this system, a finite element Galerkin (FEG) method is used for the spatial discretization. For the case of hinged boundary conditions, an alternating direction implicit (ADI) Crank Nicolson (CN) FEG method is considered for the time-stepping. Optimal error estimates in
