Abstract:

Vibration of Drum: differential formulation and formulation by minimization of Energy over the space of all admissible displacements, their relationship, need for a general formulation i.e., for integral formulation.
Natural spaces of admissible displacements.
Need for numerical approximations and Various numerical methods.
Motivation for finite element methods and basic steps.
