Title: Fully discrete finite element methods for nonlinear stochastic elastic wave equations with multiplicative noise

Abstract: This paper is concerned with fully discrete finite element methods for approximating variational solutions of nonlinear stochastic elastic wave equations with multiplicative noise. A detailed analysis of the properties of the weak solution is carried out and a fully discrete finite element method is proposed. Strong convergence in the energy norm with rate $\cal{O}(k+h^r)$ is proved, where $k$ and $h$ denote respectively the temporal and spatial mesh sizes, and $r(\geq 1)$ is the order of the finite element. Numerical experiments are provided to test the efficiency of proposed numerical methods and to validate the theoretical error estimate results.
