β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes an infinite boundary element technique for the dynamic analysis of three-dimensional machine foundations. The core region is modelled with quadratic elements while infinite boundary elements are used to discretize the unbounded far-field outside the immediate vicinity of the loaded area. The dynamic decay function assumed in the analysis is based on Rayleigh wave attenuation away from the centre of the foundation. Effective integration schemes for oscillatory integrals have been developed. Illustrative examples are presented in order to demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of the proposed infinite boundary element.

In this paper, a variational technique is described and used to determine the weight functions for three-dimensional dynamic, mixed-mode problems in fracture mechanics. The weight functions required to calculate the stress intensity factors are defined in terms of the derivatives of both traction an
Apart from some special cases, calculating the dynamic stiffness matrix of foundations on a layered half-space, especially for embedded foundations, is computationally expensive. An efficient method for two-dimensional foundations in a horizontally layered soil media is presented in this paper. This
In this paper a general boundary element formulation for the three-dimensional elastoplastic analysis of cracked bodies is presented. The non-linear formulation is based on the Dual Boundary Element Method. The continuity requirements of the field variables are fulfilled by a discretization strategy
