Abstract

In this paper, the multi-symplectic formulations of the membrane free vibration equation with periodic boundary conditions in Hamilton space are considered. The complex method is introduced and a semi-implicit twenty-seven-points scheme with certain discrete conservation laws-a multi-symplectic conservation law (CLS), a local energy conservation law (ECL) as well as a local momentum conservation law (MCL) -is constructed to discrete the PDEs that are derived from the membrane free vibration equation. The results of the numerical experiments show that the multi-symplectic scheme has excellent long-time numerical behavior.
