Abstract
Vector boundary integral equations (BIE's) based on Somigliana's integral formula are presented with Stokes' (full-space) and Lamb's (half-space) fundamental tensors (Green's functions), for radiation and scattering of time-harmonic elastic waves by bodies embedded in or laying on the surface of a three-dimensional homogeneous, isotropic, linear-elastic half-space. Numerical work is based on BIEs free from principal-value integrals. Whereas the Stokes'-tensor BIE requires discretization of the infinite half-space surface, all discretization is confined to (finite) surfaces of the body when Lamb's tensors are used. The nonuniqueness of the integral equation solution at fictitious eigenfrequencies is addressed. Numerical results are presented for a rigid circular footing, a rigid hemispherical foundation and a fully embedded spherical cavity.
