Abstract

While the BEM has rapidly developed in many engineering fields, there are relatively few papers on elastodynamics. The first formulation and solution of the transient elastodynamic problem by combining the boundary element technique and Laplace transform is due to Cruse and Rizzo [4] and Cruse [5], who applied this method to solve a half-plane wave propagation problem. In 1978, Cole et al. [6] formulated the problem in terms of boundary integral equations in space and time, and solved them by time-stepping numerical schemes. The application was made to a simple antiplane wave propagation problem.
