Abstract
In this paper, a new semi-analytical method is developed for solving two-dimensional elastodynamic problems in the frequency domain, employing Fast Fourier Transform. Using specific non-isoparametric elements, the boundary of the problem’s domain is discretized. By employing higher-order Chebyshev mapping functions, special shape functions, Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature, and implementing a weak form of weighted residual method, coefficient matrices of equation system become diagonal. This fact results in a set of decoupled Bessel differential equations to be used for solving the whole system. This means that the governing Bessel differential equation for each degree of freedom (DOF) becomes independent from other DOFs of the domain. For each DOF, the Bessel differential equation is solved for a specific frequency. Finally, the time history of responses may be obtained by using Inverse Fast Fourier Transform. Three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the present new method.
