Abstract

In this paper, a boundary element method for solving dynamical response of viscoelastic thin plate is given. In Laplace domain, we propose two methods to approximate the fundamental solution and develop the corresponding boundary element method. Then using the improved Bellman's numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, the solution of the original problem is obtained. The numerical results show that this method has higher accuracy and faster convergence.
