Abstract The Cell Method is a recently developed numerical method that is giving interesting results in several fields of physics and engineering. In this paper, first a brief description of the method for elasticity problems is given and successively the elastodynamics formulation is derived. The method leads to an explicit solution system, combining the advantages of a diagonal mass matrix and the possibility of using unstructured meshes.
The convergence rate has been tested in reference to the problem of free harmonic vibrations in a system with one degree of freedom, showing that the Cell Method has More >
