Non-linear elastodynamic analysis by the BEM : an approach based on the iterative coupling of the D-BEM and TD-BEM formulations

The present paper is concerned with the development of a scheme based on iterative coupling of two boundary element formulations to obtain time-domain numerical solution of dynamic non-linear problems. The domain is divided into two sub-domains: the sub-domain that presents non-linear behaviour is modelled by the D-BEM formulation (D: domain) whereas the sub-domain that behaves elastically is modelled by the TD-BEM formulation (TD, time-domain). The solution of the problem is obtained independently in each sub-domain and the variables at common interfaces are computed iteratively. Two examples are presented, in order to verify the potentialities of the proposed methodology.
