Nonclassical Formulation

The application of non-classical approach of the boundary integral equation method in combination with the integral Laplace transform in time to anisotropic elastic wave modeling is considered. In contrast to the classical approach of the boundary integral equation method which is successfully implemented for solving three-dimensional isotropic problems of the dynamic theory of elasticity, viscoelasticity and poroelasticity, the alternative nonclassical formulation of the boundary integral equations method is presented that employs regular Fredholm integral equations of the first kind (integral equations on a plane wave). The construction of such boundary integral equations is based on the structure of the dynamic fundamental solution. The approach employs the explicit boundary integral equations. The inverse Laplace transform is constructed numerically by the Durbin method. A numerical solution of the dynamic problem of anisotropic elasticity theory based on the boundary integral equations method in a nonclassical formulation is presented. The boundary element scheme of the boundary integral equations method is built on the basis of a regular integral equation of the first kind. The problem is solved in anisotropic formulation for the load acting along the normal in the form of the Heaviside function on the cube face weakened by a cubic cavity. The obtained boundary element solutions are compared with finite element solutions. Numerical results prove the efficiency of using boundary integral equations on a single plane wave in solving three-dimensional anisotropic dynamic problems of elasticity theory. The convergence of boundary element solutions is studied on three schemes of surface discretization. The achieved calculation accuracy is not inferior to the accuracy of boundary element schemes for classical boundary integral equations. Boundary element analysis of solutions for a cube with and without a cavity is carried out.

General Method

The limiting process that leads to the formulation of hypersingular boundary integral equations is first discussed in detail. It is shown that boundary integral equations with hypersingular kernels are perfectly meaningful even at non-smooth boundary points, and that special interpretations of the integrals involved are not necessary. Careful analysis of the limiting process has also strong relevance for the development of an appropriate numerical algorithm. In the second part, a new general method for the evaluation of hypersingular surface integrals in the boundary element method (BEM) is presented. The proposed method can be systematically applied in any BEM analysis, either with open or closed surfaces, and with curved boundary elements of any kind and order (of course, provided the density function meets necessary regularity requirements at each collocation point). The algorithm operates in the parameter plane of intrinsic coordinates and allows any hypersingular integral in the BEM to be directly transformed into a sum of a double and a one-dimensional regular integrals. Since all singular integrations are performed analytically, standard quadrature formulae can be used. For the first time, numerical results are presented for hypersingular integrals on curved (distorted) elements for three-dimensional problems.
