Abstract
AbstractThe wave problem is introduced and a derivation of Berkhoff's surface wave theory is outlined. Appropriate boundary conditions are described, for finite and infinite boundaries. These equations are then presented in a variational form, which is used as a basis for finite and infinite elements. The elements are used to solve a wide range of unbounded surface wave problems. Comparisons are given with other methods. It is concluded that infinite elements are a competitive method for the solution of such problems.
