Abstract

The method of boundary integral equations has been applied for the study of elastic wave propagation and diffraction for a long time [11]. Compared to other numerical techniques its major advantage is the ease with which Sommerfeld radiation conditions can be dealt with in unbounded domains. However the method is somewhat limited to homogeneous media or to only a few different materials.
