In the paper free and forced vibrations of 2-D and 3-D elastic solids are analyzed by the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DR/BEM) in order to assess the advantages and limitations of the method with respect to its accuracy and efficiency. Use of the elastostatic fundamental solution in the integral formulation of elastodynamics creates an inertial volume integral, which is transformed into a boundary one with the aid of radial basis functions, thereby establishing the DR/BEM. Free vibrations are studied by solving iteratively the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Harmonic forced vibrations are analyzed directly in the frequency domain, while transient forced vibrations by integrating the equations of motion stepwise in time. The effects of the kind of radial basis functions, the number of interior collocation points and the kind of time integration algorithms on the accuracy of the method are studied by means of numerical examples. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0951.00056].
