Abstract
The paper presents a hybrid Trefftz (HT) element approach for the nume rical solution of transient plate bending problems. In the proposed me thod, the dynamic plate equation is first discretized with respect to time and then the resulting set of elliptic equations is solved by the corresponding time independent hybrid Trefftz element approach. Two e xamples are considered to assess the effectiveness of the numerical me thod.
