An isoparametric plate bending element with nine nodes is used in this paper for dynamic analysis of isotropic cut-out plate having concentrated and uniformly distributed mass on the plate. The Mindlin’s first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used in the present finite element formulation. Two proportionate mass lumping schemes are used. The effect of rotary inertia is included in one of the mass lumping schemes in the present element formulation. Dynamic analysis of rectangular isotropic plates with cut-out having different side ratio, thickness ratio and boundary condition is analysed using a finite element method. The present results are compared with the published results. Some new results on isotropic plates with cut-out having different side ratio, ratio of side-to-thickness of the plate, different position and size of cut-out in plates subjected to transversely concentrated and distributed mass are presented.

Arbitrary High-Order Finite Element Schemes and High-Order Mass LumpingComputers are becoming sufficiently powerful to permit to numerically solve problems such as the wave equation with high-order methods. In this article we will consider Lagrange finite elements of orderkand show how it is possible to automatically generate the mass and stiffness matrices of any order with the help of symbolic computation software. We compare two high-order time discretizations: an explicit one using a Taylor expansion in time (a Cauchy-Kowalewski procedure) and an implicit Runge-Kutta scheme. We also construct in a systematic way a high-order quadrature which is optimal in terms of the number of points, which enables the use of mass lumping, up toP5elements. We compare computational time and effort for several codes which are of high order in time and space and study their respective properties.
