Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

Boundary element methods for steady state problems have reached a state of maturity in
both analysis and efficient implementation and have become an ubiquitous tool in …

Wave propagation is an important topic in engineering sciences, especially, in the field of
solid mechanics. A description of wave propagation phenomena is given by Graff [98]: The …

Time-dependent problems that are modeled by initial-boundary value problems for
parabolic or hyperbolic partial differential equations can be treated with the boundary …

Biot's theory of porous media governs the wave propagation in a porous, elastic solid
infiltrated with fluid. In this theory, a second compressional wave, known as the slow wave …

The dynamic responses of fluid-saturated semi-infinite porous continua to transient
excitations such as seismic waves or ground vibrations are important in the design of soil …

As an alternative to domain discretization methods, the boundary element method (BEM)
provides a powerful tool for the calculation of dynamic structural response in frequency and …

The main aim of this work is to develop, verify and apply in simulation study an efficient
hybrid approach to study seismic response of a soil-structure system taking into account all …

Time domain boundary element formulations can be established either directly in time
domain or via Laplace or Fourier domain. Somewhere in between are the convolution …

In this review paper, we concentrate on the use of boundary integral equation (BIE) based
methods for the numerical modeling of elastic wave motion in naturally occurring media. The …
