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 …

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 …

We consider an exterior linear elastodynamics problem with vanishing initial conditions and
Dirichlet datum on the scatterer. We convert the Navier Equation, governing the wave …

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 …

ACOUSTIC scattering is an important subject in aeroacoustics. Acoustic waves can be
reflected and diffracted by a scattering body in a manner that is frequency and position …

This paper presents a non‐linear coupled finite element–boundary element approach for the
prediction of free field vibrations due to vibratory and impact pile driving. Both the non‐linear …

This article is mainly devoted to a review on fast BEMs for elastodynamics, with particular
attention on time-harmonic fast multipole methods (FMMs). It also includes original results …

In the implementation of time-domain boundary element method for elasto-dynamic
problems, there are two types of singularities: the wave front singularity arising when the …

The present paper deals with the time domain formulation of the boundary element method
for three-dimensional elastodynamic problems and its actual implementation for the solution …
