Abstract
By a new numerical approach using the indirect fictitious-boundary integral method with the time-dependent fundamental solution, analysis of the elastodynamic contact problem is performed. First, to verify the propriety of this method, the well-known case of an infinite medium having a spherical cavity subjected to impulsive pressure over its inner surface is analyzed, and it is confirmed that the present results agree well with the well-known analytical solutions. Next, more complex problem of a sphere impulsively compressed by two rigid flat surfaces is treated, and the stresses and displacements are accurately analyzed. In conclusion, the applicability of the present method to the elastodynamic contact problem is verified.
