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 …

This article presents an overview on poroelastodynamic models and some analytical
solutions. A brief summary of Biot's theory and of other poroelastic dynamic governing …

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 …

This article reviews convolution quadrature and its uses, extends the known approximation
results for the case of sectorial Laplace transforms to finite-part convolutions with non …

Dynamic response in a saturated porous medium (ie two-phased medium) is significantly
different from the commonly assumed single-phased elastic medium in vibration analyses …

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 …

Dynamic soil–structure interaction is concerned with the study of structures supported on
flexible soils and subjected to dynamic actions. Methods combining the finite element …

In this paper, an adaptive element Subdivision Method based on the Affine transformations
and Partitioning techniques (APSM) is presented for evaluating the weakly singular integrals …

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 …
