Purely numerical methods for modelling seismic wave propagation are now fairly popular. In this paper, we report on the development of a hybrid finite element-finite difference method. Our method first employs semi-discretization of the finite element method in a part of the spatial domain (in the z-direction for 2-D situation) to obtain a wave equation in weak form, and then uses the finite difference method to solve it. This offers significant advantages in applying non-uniform grids with improved accuracy. To improve the computational efficiency, we introduce the spectral element method to replace the traditional finite element method, which leads to a diagonal mass matrix with sufficient accuracy. After that, we carry out detailed analyses of the dispersion behaviours for both uniform and non-uniform cases; the dispersion curves demonstrate high precision of our method in numerical modelling, especially in dealing with non-uniform grids. Some examples are presented to demonstrate performance of this method and confirm the analytic results.
