 "description": "Von Karman thin-plate reduction (Airy stress function, in-plane inertia neglected, damping on bending only) of the challenge model on a Cartesian grid: the disk is approximated by the square cells whose centers lie inside it (a staircase boundary) at 8 mm and 4 mm spacing. Linear free-plate modes and clamped Airy modes come from Bogner-Fox-Schmit finite elements on the cells and a sparse shift-invert eigensolver; the bases are restricted to functions even in y, which is exact because the strike is centered on the x axis. The cubic coupling tensor is integrated on the cells, the time stepping is a two-step scheme exact in the linear part, and the retarded Rayleigh integral uses cubic fractional delays. The chain is ordered by grid spacing, number of modes, and time step; the mode truncation caps the frequency the cascade can reach.",
