Spectral finite element methods are used to compute exact vibration solutions of structural models at specific frequencies. The applicability of these methods to certain areas of structural dynamics is limited by two major factors: the lack of separate structural operators (mass, damping, and stiffness matrices), and the subsequent difficulty in computing mode shapes via eigenvalue decomposition. In the work presented in this article, a method is investigated to accurately calculate spectral Unite elements while overcoming these limitations. The approach incorporates a two-dimensional, discrete solution utilizing a wavenumber-based gridding technique to compute frequency-dependent local mass, clamping, and stiffness matrices which can be assembled into the global structural operators. Computed models are able to be used for precise vibration analysis as well as modal analysis via eigenvalue decomposition of the structural operators.
