An Evaluation of Doubly Asymptotic Boundaries for Transient Elastodynamics

  • Conference paper
Computational Mechanics ’95

Abstract

The integral equation for the three-dimensional transient dynamics of an isotropic elastic medium has been known for about a century, and numerical methods for solving the equation have been under development for about a quarter-century. However, utilization of the integral equation in the development of non-reflecting computational boundaries has been impeded by the complexity of the integral operators and the unacceptable demands on computational resources. The state of development for anisotropic and layered media is much further behind
