Abstract

This chapter summarizes the theoretical developments of the author’s research team during the last 15 years in the area of a new family of direct time domain Boundary Element Methods that are based on the B-Spline fundamental solutions for wave propagation in solid and fluid media, and the resulting methodologies for solving problems involving dynamic interaction of coupled media. Special element types have been developed to accommodate rigid assemblages and fluid-solid interfaces and are summarized herein. Coupling procedures of the proposed BEM methods with the FEM are also outlined. A number of examples reported in the literature by the author and his coworkers are included at the end of the chapter.
