Seismic response of three-dimensional topographies using a time-domain boundary element method

seismic waves scattering in three-dimensional homogeneous media using time-domain boundary element method

it is well established that the seismic ground response of surface topographies may differ from those of free field motion during earthquakes. complex nature of seismic wave scattering by topographical structures can only be solved accurately and economically using advanced numerical methods under realistic conditions. among the numerical methods, the boundary element is a powerful numerical te...

Coupling of Natural Boundary Element Method and Finite Element Method for Three-dimensional Nonlinear Interface Problem

Coupling of Natural Boundary Element Method and Finite Element Method for Three-dimensional Nonlinear Interface Problem Hong-ying Huang2,1 and De-hao Yu 2 Summary In this paper, we apply the coupling of natural boundary element method and finite element method to solve a three-dimensional nonlinear interface problem. Two equations are coupled by interface conditions on the interface boundary. A...

A two-dimensional resistance simulator using the boundary element method

A new resistance simulator for extraction of the parasitic parameters from VLSI layout is presented. The calculation of resistor network is based on the boundary element method (BEM). The computational results indicate that the BEM has an advantage over the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM). Since only discretized equations on the boundary of solved domain need ...
