Abstract

A pseudo-spectral approach to 2D vibrational problems arising in linear elasticity is considerede using differentiation matrices. The governing partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions on regular domains can be translated into matrix eigenvalue problems. Accurate results are obtained to the precision expected in spectral-type methods. However, we show that it is necessary to apply an additional “pole” condition to deal with ther=0 coordinate singularity arising in the case of a 2D disc.
