Eigenfunction Convergence of the Rayleigh-Ritz-Meirovitch Method and the FEM

Eigenfunction convergence characteristics of the finite element method and the Rayleigh-Ritz method with quasicomparison functions (RRMM) are compared. The RRMM has previously proved to be superior in comparing eigenvalue convergence characteristics. The importance of studying natural mode convergen...
