Application of the boundary integral equation (BIE) method to transient response analysis of inclusions in a half space
Transient scattering of elastic waves by inclusions in a half space is investigated by the boundary integral equation (BIE) method. The formulation of BIE presented here is based on the Fourier transform method, and involves the analysis of transformed problems and the reconstitution of transient solutions by Fourier inversion. After the BIE has been solved numerically in the transformed domain, the transient wave fields are obtained with the help of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. After confirmation of the accuracy of the present method, some numerical examples are shown for various inclusions in a half space, such as a cavity, an elastic inclusion, and a fluid inclusion.
