Spectral Element Method for the Dynamic Behaviors of Plate

Finite Element Method(FEM) is the most popularly used method in analyzing the dynamic behaviors of structures. But unless the number of finite elements is large enough, the results from FEM are somewhat different from exact analytical solutions, especially at high frequency range. On the other hand, as the Spectral Element Method(SEM) deals directly with the governing equations of structures, the results from this method cannot but be exact regardless of any frequency range. However, despite two dimensional structures are more general, the SEM has been applied only to the analysis of one dimensional structures so far. In this paper, therefore, new methodologies are introduced to analyze the two dimensional plate using SEM. The results from this new method are compared with the exact analytical solutions by letting the two dimensional plate be one dimensional one and showed the dynamic responses of two dimensional plate by including various waves propagated into x-direction.
