Abstract:The wave finite element (WFE) method is now an established numerical method for obtaining the structural response of periodic structures. From a model of a substructure obtained from any finite element software, it allows to get dispersion curves and responses of finite periodic structures with a low calculation cost. Here, we consider some recent improvements of the method. First of all, the original WFE is often formulated with some point loads on the structure, but we show that it is possible to extend this… Show more
