Water wave-structure dynamic interaction problems are treated as eigenvalue problems of the coupled system by means of the boundary element method. The coupled system for a large-sized ocean structure is modelized generally with the three-dimensional continuum mechanics. The boundary integral equations of the coupled system are derived by the weighted residual method and related fundamental solutions. The solving scheme for the discretized equations is discussed in detail. Numerical examples of the three-dimensional problem are given to show the validity of the present method through the comparison with other results.

A boundary element method (BEM) implementation of the energy domain integral (EDI) methodology for the numerical analysis of three-dimensional fracture problems considering thermal effects is presented in this paper. The EDI is evaluated from a domain representation naturally compatible with the BEM, since stresses, strains, temperatures, and derivatives of displacements and temperatures at internal points can be evaluated using the appropriate boundary integral equations. Special emphasis is put on the selection of the auxiliary function that represents the virtual crack advance in the domain integral. This is found to be a key feature to obtain reliable results at the intersection of the crack front with free surfaces. Several examples are analyzed to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the implementation.

The development of time-step boundary-element scheme for the three dimensional boundaryvalue problems of poroelastodynamics is presented. The poroelastic continuum is described using Biot’s mathematical model. Poroelastic material is assumed to consist of a solid phase constituting an elastic formdefining skeleton and carrying most of the loading, and two fluid phases filling the pores. Dynamic equations of the poroelastic medium are written for unknown functions of displacement of the elastic skeleton and pore pressures of the filling materials. Green’s matrices and, based on it, boundary integral equations are written in Laplace domain. Discrete analogue are obtained by applying the collocation method to a regularized boundary integral equation. Boundary element scheme is based on time-step method of numerical inversion of Laplace transform. A modification of the time-step scheme on the nodes of Runge-Kutta methods is considered. The Runge-Kutta scheme is exemplified with 2-and 3-stage Radau schemes. The results of comparing the two schemes in analyzing a numerical example are presented.

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.

Problems of the poroviscodynamics are considered. Theory of poroviscoelasticity is based on Biot’s equations of fluid saturated porous media under assumption that the skeleton is viscoelastic. Viscoelastic effects of solid skeleton are modeled by mean of elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle, using such viscoelastic models as a standard linear solid model and model with weakly singular kernel. The fluid is taken as original in Biot’s formulation without viscoelastic effects. Boundary integral equations method is applied to solve three-dimensional boundary-value problems. Boundary-element method with mixed discretization and matched approximation of boundary functions is used. Solution is obtained in Laplace domain, and then Durbin’s algorithm of numerical inversion of Laplace transform is applied to perform solution in time domain. An influence of viscoelastic parameters on dynamic responses is studied. Numerical example of the surface waves modelling is considered.

Accurate modelling of a coupled dynamic electro-mechanical response of circular piezoelectric plates under various loading conditions is of particular importance. Piezoelectric plates are not only basic structural elements, but with certain considerations can be conveniently fit for numerical simulation of piezoelectric sensors and transducers. In this work, a Laplace domain direct boundary element formulation is applied for dynamic analysis of three-dimensional linear piezoelectric moderately thick circular plates. Zero initial conditions, vanishing body forces and the absence of the free electrical charges are assumed. Weakly singular expressions of Laplace domain boundary integral equations for the generalized displacements are employed. Spatial discretization is based on the nodal collocation method. Mixed boundary elements are implemented. The geometry of the elements, generalized displacement and generalized tractions are represented with different shape functions: quadratic, linear and constant, accordingly. Integral expressions of the three-dimensional Laplace domain piezoelectric displacement fundamental solutions are used. After solving the problem on a set of Laplace transform parameter values, time-domain solutions are retrieved from the corresponding Laplace domain solutions by employing a numerical inversion routine. Numerical example is provided to show reliability and accuracy of the proposed boundary element formulation.

A three-dimensional (3D) boundary element method for small strains crystal plasticity is described. The method, developed for polycrystalline aggregates, makes use of a set of boundary integral equations for modeling the individual grains, which are represented as anisotropic elasto-plastic domains. Crystal plasticity is modeled using an initial strains boundary integral approach. The integration of strongly singular volume integrals in the anisotropic elasto-plastic grain-boundary equations are discussed. Voronoi-tessellation micro-morphologies are discretized using nonstructured boundary and volume meshes. A grain-boundary incremental/iterative algorithm, with rate-dependent flow and hardening rules, is developed and discussed. The method has been assessed through several numerical simulations, which confirm robustness and accuracy.

This paper presents an efficient numerical technique for stress analysis of three-dimensional infinite media containing cracks and localized complex regions. To enhance the computational efficiency of the boundary element methods generally found inefficient to treat nonlinearities and non-homogeneous data present within a domain and the finite element method (FEM) potentially demanding substantial computational cost in the modeling of an unbounded medium containing cracks, a coupling procedure exploiting positive features of both the FEM and a symmetric Galerkin boundary element method (SGBEM) is proposed. The former is utilized to model a finite, small part of the domain containing a complex region whereas the latter is employed to treat the remaining unbounded part possibly containing cracks. Use of boundary integral equations to form the key governing equation for the unbounded region offers essential benefits including the reduction of the spatial dimension and the corresponding discretization effort without the domain truncation. In addition, all involved boundary integral equations contain only weakly singular kernels thus allowing continuous interpolation functions to be utilized in the approximation and also easing the numerical integration. Nonlinearities and other complex behaviors within the localized regions are efficiently modeled by utilizing vast features of the FEM. A selected set of results is then reported to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the technique.
