Abstract
The fully discrete lumped mass finite element method is proposed for vibration analysis of elastic plate-plate structures. In the space directions, the longitudinal displacements on plates are discretized by conforming linear elements, and the transverse displacements are discretized by the Morley element. By means of the second order central difference for discretizing the time derivative and the technique of lumped masses, a fully discrete lumped mass finite element method is obtained, and two approaches to choosing the initial functions are also introduced. The error analysis for the method in the energy norm is established, and some numerical examples are included to validate the theoretical analysis.
