Abstract A Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method based on Local Boundary Integral Equation (LBIE) techniques is employed here for the solution of transient elastic problems with damping. The Radial Basis Functions (RBF) interpolation scheme is exploited for the meshless representation of displacements throughout the computational domain. On the intersections between the local domains and the global boundary, tractions are treated as independent variables via conventional boundary interpolation functions. The MLPG(LBIE)/RBF method is applied to both transient and steady-state Fourier transform elastodynamic domains. In both cases the LBIEs employ the simple elastostatic fundamental solution instead of the complicated time and frequency dependent… More >
