Singular boundary method for wave propagation analysis in periodic structures

Abstract A strong-form boundary collocation method, the singular boundary method (SBM), is developed in this paper for the wave propagation analysis at low and moderate wavenumbers in periodic structures. The SBM is of several advantages including mathematically simple, easy-to-program, meshless with the application of the concept of origin intensity factors in order to eliminate the singularity of the fundamental solutions and avoid the numerical evaluation of the singular integrals in the boundary element method. Due to the periodic behaviors of the structures, the SBM coefficient matrix can be represented as a block Toeplitz matrix. By employing three different fast Toeplitz-matrix solvers, the computational time and storage requirements are significantly reduced in the proposed SBM analysis. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SBM formulation for wave propagation analysis in periodic structures, several benchmark examples are presented and discussed The proposed SBM results are compared with the analytical solutions, the reference results and the COMSOL software.
