✦ Synopsis
To calculate the unit-impulse response matrix of an unbounded medium for use in a time-domain analysis of unbounded medium-structure interaction, the consistent infinitesimal finite-element cell method is developed for the three-dimensional vector wave equation. This is a boundary finite-element procedure. The discretization is only performed on the structure-medium interface, yielding a reduction of the spatial dimension by 1. The procedure is rigorous in the radial direction and exact in the finite-element sense in the circumferential directions. In contrast to the boundary-element procedure, the consistent infinitesimal finite-element cell method does not require a hdamental solution and incorporates interfaces extending from the structure-medium interface to infinity compatible with similarity without any additional computational effort. A general anisotropic material can be processed. The derivation is based on the finite-element formulation and on similarity.
