✦ Synopsis

A non-destructive time domain approach to examine structural damage is presented. Unlike frequency domain methods which generally rely on analytical models, this method is independent of modal parameters and analytical models. Time histories of the vibration response of the structure were used to identify the presence of damage. Two simple finite element models were constructed to examine axial as well as transverse vibrations. The knowledge gained from these simulations led to a series of experiments which substantiated the potential of the proposed method. Comparing time responses, e.g., displacement or velocity, due to different material defects revealed the existence of damage in cases where measured frequency shifts were minimal.

A new numerical procedure is proposed for the analysis of three-dimensional dynamic soil}structure interaction in the time domain. In this study, the soil is modelled as a linear elastic solid, however, the methods developed can be adapted to include the e!ects of soil non-linearities and hysteretic

We present a quasi-planar incident wave excitation for time-domain scattering analysis of periodic structures. It uses a particular superposition of plane waves that yields an incident wave with the same periodicity as the periodic structure itself. The duration of the incident wave is controlled by

## Abstract A super‐element for the dynamic analysis of two‐dimensional crack problems is developed based on the scaled boundary finite‐element method. The boundary of the super‐element containing a crack tip is discretized with line elements. The governing partial differential equations formulated
