Abstract
This contribution discusses the application of the boundary element method to wave propagation problems in three-dimensional poroelastic media. Linear elastic porous media, fully saturated with a compressible fluid, have important applications in soil dynamics. Since problems of radiation or scattering of waves often include solutions in infinite domains, the boundary element method is a well suited method for various soil mechanics problems. Different formulations based on Biot’s theory are developed and discussed.
