Volume Integral Equation Method

The parallel volume integral equation method (PVIEM) is applied for the analysis of two-dimensional elastic wave scattering problems in an unbounded isotropic solid containing various types of multiple multilayered anisotropic inclusions. It should be noted that the volume integral equation method (VIEM) does not require the use of the Green’s function for the anisotropic inclusion — only the Green’s function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is needed. A detailed analysis of the SH wave scattering problem is presented for various types of multiple multilayered orthotropic inclusions. Numerical results are presented for the elastic fields at the interfaces for square and hexagonal packing arrays of various types of multilayered orthotropic inclusions in a broad frequency range of practical interest. Standard parallel programming was used to speed up computation in the VIEM. The PVIEM enables us to investigate the effects of single/multiple scattering, fiber packing type, fiber volume fraction, single/multiple layer(s), multilayer’s shapes and geometry, isotropy/anisotropy, and softness/hardness of various types of multiple multilayered anisotropic inclusions on displacements and stresses at the interfaces of the inclusions and far-field scattering patterns. Also, powerful capabilities of the PVIEM for the analysis of general two-dimensional multiple scattering problems are investigated.

Volume Integral Equation Method

A number of analytical techniques are available for the stress analysis of inclusion problems when the geometries of inclusions are simple (e.g., cylindrical, spherical or ellipsoidal) and when they are well separated [9, 41, 52]. However, these approaches cannot be applied to more general problems where the inclusions are anisotropic and arbitrary in shape, particularly when their concentration is high. Thus, stress analysis of heterogeneous solids or analysis of elastic wave scattering problems in heterogeneous solids often requires the use of numerical techniques based on either the finite element method (FEM) or the boundary integral equation method (BIEM). However, these methods become problematic when dealing with elastostatic problems or elastic wave scattering problems in unbounded media containing anisotropic and/or heterogeneous inclusions of arbitrary shapes. It has been demonstrated that the volume integral equation method (VIEM) can overcome such difficulties in solving a large class of inclusion problems [6,10,20,21,28–30]. One advantage of the VIEM over the BIEM is that it does not require the use of Green’s functions for anisotropic inclusions. Since the elastodynamic Green’s functions for anisotropic media are extremely difficult to calculate, the VIEM offers a clear advantage over the BIEM. In addition, the VIEM is not sensitive to the geometry or concentration of the inclusions. Moreover, in contrast to the finite element method, where the full domain needs to be discretized, the VIEM requires discretization of the inclusions only.
