Three numerical algorithms are proposed to solve the time-dependent elastodynamic equations in elastic solids. All algorithms are based on approximating the solution of the equations, which can be written as a matrix exponential. By approximating the matrix exponential with a product formula, an unconditionally stable algorithm is derived that conserves the total elastic energy density. By expanding the matrix exponential in Chebyshev polynomials for a specific time instance, a so-called "one-step" algorithm is constructed that is very accurate with respect to the time integration. By formulating the conventional velocity-stress finite-difference time-domain (VS-FDTD) algorithm in matrix exponential form, the staggered-in-time nature can be removed by a small modification, and higher-order in time algorithms can be easily derived. For two different seismic events the accuracy of the algorithms is studied and compared with the result obtained by using the conventional VS-FDTD algorithm.
