Some studies on dual reciprocity BEM for elastodynamic analysis

摘要

The accuracy of the dual reciprocity boundary element method for two-dimensional elastodynamic interior problems is investigated. A general analytical method is described for the closed form determination of the displacement and traction tensor corresponding to radial basis functions and explicit expressions of these tensors are provided for a number of specific basis functions. For all these basis functions the accuracy of the dual reciprocity boundary element method is numerically assessed for three interior plane stress elastodynamic problems. The influence of internal points on the accuracy of the solution is also considered. Useful results concerning the suitability of the various basis functions for solving plane elastodynamic problems are obtained.
