Extension of spline wavelets element method to membrane vibration analysis (Q2365494)

The \(B\)-spline wavelets element technique is extended to the membrane vibration analysis. The tensor product of the finite splines and spline wavelets expansions in different resolutions is applied in the development of a curved quadrilateral element. The elemental displacement field represented by the coefficients of wavelets expansions is transformed into edges and internal modes via elemental geometric conditions and two-scale relations. The multiple stage two-scale sequence of quadratic \(B\)-spline functions is provided to accelerate the sequential transformations between different resolution levels of wavelets. The hierarchical property of wavelets basis approximation is also reserved in this extension.
