Boundary element method for dynamic poroelastic and thermoelastic analyses (Q675552)

A boundary element method is developed for transient and time-harmonic analysis of problems in dynamic poroelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity, involving both two- and three-dimensional geometries. Laplace domain infinite space fundamental solutions are employed to produce a formulation that requires only surface discretization. Details of the formulation and numerical implementations are presented.
