Abstract This paper presents analytical solutions, together with explicit expressions, for the steady state response of homogeneous three-dimensional layered acoustic and elastic formations subjected to a spatially sinusoidal harmonic line load. These formulas are theoretically interesting in themselves and they are also useful as benchmark solutions for numerical applications. In particular, they are very important in formulating three-dimensional elastodynamic problems in layered fluid and solid formations using integral transform methods and/or boundary elements, avoiding the discretization of the solid-fluid interfaces. The proposed Green's functions will allow the solution to be obtained for high frequencies, for which the conventional boundary elements' solution… More >

Abstract The use of potential (integral) representations is studied when computing Green's functions for boundary value problems stated for Laplace and biharmonic equations over regions of complex configuration in two dimensions. The emphasis is on the non-traditional potentials, whose observation and source points occupy different sets. Such potentials reduce the original boundary value problems to functional (integral) equations with smooth kernels. Special integral representations are studied, the ones whose kernels are built not of the fundamental solutions of governing differential equations but of the Green's functions for simply shaped regions, which are associated with boundary value problems under consideration. Such integral… More >

Abstract The paper discusses further applications of the hyper-singular boundary integral equation to obtain the Green's function solution to general geometry fracture mechanics problems, such as curved multifracture crack simulation, static and transient dynamic in 2-D, 3-D and plate bending problems. This numerical Green's function (NGF) is implemented into alternative boundary element computer programs, as the fundamental solution, to enhance the scope of alternative applications of the NGF procedure.
The results to some typical linear fracture mechanics problems are presented. More >

Abstract The present paper is concerned with the wave propagation in a micropolar thermoelastic solid with distinct two temperatures under the effect of the magnetic field in the presence of the gravity field and an internal heat source. The formulation of the problem is applied in the context of the three-phase-lag model and Green-Naghdi theory without dissipation. The medium is a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic in the half-space. The exact expressions of the considered variables are obtained by using normal mode analysis. Comparisons are made with the results in the two theories in the absence and presence of the magnetic field as… More >

Abstract A null-field approach is employed to derive the Green's function for boundary value problems stated for the Laplace equation with circular boundaries. The kernel function and boundary density are expanded by using the degenerate kernel and Fourier series, respectively. Series-form Green's function for interior and exterior problems of circular boundary are derived and plotted in a good agreement with the closed-form solution. The Poisson integral formula is extended to an annular case from a circle. Not only an eccentric ring but also a half-plane problem with an aperture are demonstrated to see the validity of the present approach. Besides, a… More >

Abstract A three-dimensional Green's function for a material system consisting of anisotropic and linearly elastic planar multilayers with interfacial membrane and flexural rigidities has been derived. The Stroh formalism and two-dimensional Fourier transforms are applied to derive the general solution for each homogeneous layer. The Green's function for the multilayers is then solved by imposing the surface boundary condition, the interfacial displacement continuity condition, and the interfacial traction discontinuity condition. The last condition is given by the membrane and bending equilibrium equations of the interphases modeled as Kirchhoff plates. Numerical results that demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the formulation are… More >

Abstract A method for an approximate computation of the electric and magnetic Green’s functions for the time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations in the general electrically gyrotropic materials is proposed. This method is based on the Fourier transform meta-approach: the equations for electric and magnetic fields are written in terms of images of the Fourier transform with respect to space variables and as a result of it the linear algebraic systems for finding Fourier images of the columns of the Green’s functions are obtained. The explicit formulas for the solutions of the obtained systems have been found. Finally, elements of the Green’s functions are… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose an efficient method to calculate the isotropic and tetragonal lattice Green functions for the face-centered cubic (FCC), bodycentered cubic (BCC) and simple cubic (SC) lattices. The method is based on binomial expansion theorems, which provide us with analytical formulae through basic integrals. The resulting series present better convergence rates. Several acceleration techniques are combined to further improve the efficiency of the established formulas. The obtained results for the lattice Green functions are in good agreement with the known numerical calculation results. More >

Abstract Homogeneous non-dispersive anisotropic materials, characterized by a positive constant permeability and a symmetric positive definite conductivity tensor, are considered in the paper. In these anisotropic materials, the electric and magnetic dyadic Green's functions are defined as electric and magnetic fields arising from impulsive current dipoles and satisfying the time-dependent Maxwell's equations in quasi-static approximation. A new method of deriving these dyadic Green's functions is suggested in the paper. This method consists of several steps: equations for electric and magnetic dyadic Green's functions are written in terms of the Fourier modes; explicit formulae for the Fourier modes of dyadic Green's functions… More >
