Abstract

In this paper, we propose a numerical formula for three dimensional elastic wave scattering problem. Different from the classical boundary integral equation method, the three dimensional elastic scattering problem is transformed into a coupled boundary value problem including a scalar Helmholtz equation and a vector Helmholtz equation by the decomposition of the displacement. The coupled boundary value problem can be solved by the boundary integral equations based on the Helmholtz equation. A denseness result is given to support this algorithm. A comparative study with the classical method of fundamental solutions getting from the boundary integral equation method is given to check the accuracy with different types of boundary conditions. From the numerical results, the present method can give more accurate results than the classical method of fundamental solutions method.
