An Introduction to the Composite Element Method Applied to the Vibration Analysis of Trusses

This paper introduces a new type of Finite Element Method (FEM), called Composite Element Method (CEM). The CEM was developed by combining the versatility of the FEM and the high accuracy of closed form solutions from the classical analytical theory. Analytical solutions, which fulfil some special b...
