BOUNDARY-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF HOMOGENEOUS POROUSELASTIC BODIES

Abstract

The results of the analysis of the dynamic state of finite porous-elastic bodies on the basis of the boundary element method are presented. A benchmark problem is used to demonstrate the potential of the boundary element methodology in obtaining a solution of a boundary-value dynamic problem having an analytical solution. The numerical study of Rayleigh waves in a porous-elastic halfspace is given as an example.

Key words: boundary element, 3-D dynamic theory of porouselasticity, numerical study, propagation of porous-elastic waves.
