FINITE-ELEMENT MODELLING OF UNBOUNDED MEDIA
John P. Wolf and Chongmin Song
ISBN 0 471 96134 5, John Wiley & Sons, 1996, 331 pp, cloth,
£40.-/$75.-
** Description **
Presents three novel methods to model the unbounded medium in a dynamic
unbounded medium-structure-interaction analysis.
1. The consistent infinitesimal finite-element cell method, a boundary
finite-element procedure which combines the advantages of requires
the
discretization of the structure-medium interface only and is exact
in
the finite-element sense. It is applicable to unbounded media
governed
by the hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic differential equations.
2. The damping-solvent extraction method permits the analysis of a
bounded
medium only.
3. The doubly-asymptotic multi-directional transmitting boundary is
exact
for the low-and high-frequency limits at preselected wave
propagation
directions.
Read-to-run code and source code available free of charge with purchase
of book.
** Contents **
Two- and three-dimensional scalar and vector wave propagation in
compressible
and incompressible elasticity. Diffusion. Time and frequency domain
analyses.
Statics. Bounded medium.
** Market **
Engineers, software developers and scientists in structural and soil
dynamics,
acoustics, heat transfer, electromagnetism, seismology.
Researchers in finite elements and boundary elements.
