Abstract

This paper presents a Convolution Quadrature Time-Domain Boundary Element Method (CQBEM) for antiplane anisotropic viscoelastodynamics. The proposed CQBEM formulation employs the standard linear viscoelastic model and the fundamental solution developed by Wang and Achenbach for expressing viscoelastic and anisotropic properties, respectively. This fundamental solution, which involves integration over the unit circle, is evaluated numerically. After offering a comprehensive overview of the proposed CQBEM formulation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by analyzing the scattering of elastic waves by cavities in certain types of anisotropic viscoelastic materials. Additionally, the use of group velocity curves further validates the numerical results, confirming the anisotropic and viscoelastic effects and thus substantiates the proposed CQBEM for antiplane anisotropic viscoelastic wave propagation.
