Abstract
AbstractWe present here a Boundary Element Method (BEM) implementation for SH harmonic waves in a class of inhomogeneous anisotropic media. The inhomogeneity is assumed to be the same not only for the stiffnesses, but also for the density. The implementation is based on a closed form fundamental solution for SH waves derived by Daros [C. H. Daros, A fundamental solution for SH‐waves in class of inhomogeneous anisotropic media, Int. J. Eng. Science 46 (2008) 809–817]. We show numerical results obtained by the traditional boundary integral equation. Moreover, the non‐hypersingular traction based BEM is also implemented, allowing the modelling of cracks in inhomogeneous anisotropic media. We obtain numerical results for the stress intensity factors (SIF) which are compared to previous published results.
