A new finite element equation is derived by applying quadratic and cubic time integration scheme to the variational formulation in time-integral for the analysis of the transient elastodynamic problems to increase the numerical accuracy and stability. Emphasis is focused on methodology for cubic time integration scheme procedure which are never presented before. In this semidiscrete approximations of the field variables, the time axis is divided equally and quadratic and cubic time variation is assumed in those intervals, and space is approximated by the usual finite element discretization technique. It is found that unconditionally stable numerical results are obtained in case of the cubic time variation. Some numerical examples are given to show the versatility of the presented formulation.
