An advanced implementation of the direct boundary element method applicable to transient problems involving threedimensional solids of arbitrary shape and connectivity is presented. The work first focuses on the formulation of the method, followed by a discussion of the fundamental singular solution

โฆ Synopsis
The Laplace transformed boundary element method is used to analyse the transient responses of a three-dimensional crack. The choice of Laplace inversion parameters and the calculation of dynamic stress intensity factors (SIF) are discussed. In order to verify the computation procedure and choose the discretization format, the transient displacement response. of a prismatical beam under various dynamic loadings and the transient SIF response of a thick plate with a through-thickness crack under two different discretization schemes are calculated. Finally, the transient SIF response of a plate with a semi-circular surface crack under several different loading conditions is also computed, and the results are shown to be quite good.

In the past the time domain solution of the wave equation has been limited to simplified problems. This was due to the limitations of analytical methods and the capacity of computers to manipulate and store 'large' blocks of spatial information.
