A unified formulation is presented, based on boundary element method, in a form suitable for performing the interaction analyses by substructure method for solid-solid and soil-structure problems. The proposed formulation permits the evaluation of all the elements of impedance and input motion matrices simultaneously at a single step in terms of system matrices of the boundary element method without solving any special problem, such as, unit displacement or load problem, as required in conventional methods. It eliminates further the complicated procedure and the need for using scattering analysis in the evaluation of input motion functions. To explain the formulation, it is first given for an inclusion interacting with an infinite surrounding medium under the influence of a seismic input, where both the inclusion and surrounding medium are treated as viscoelastic. It is shown that the formulation for a rigid inclusion may be obtained from that for flexible inclusion as a special case through a transformation. Then, the formulation is extended to other types of interaction problems: a multi-inclusion problem and an interaction problem involving a foundation embedded in a viscoelastic half-space. It is found that the proposed formulation remains essentially the same for all kinds of interaction problems and it can be used not only in regular interaction analysis, but also in the analysis involving diffraction of waves in a medium containing holes.

A coupled numerical scheme of dual reciprocity BEM with DQM for the transient elastodynamic problems Bozkaya, Canan (Wiley, 2008-11-12) The two-dimensional transient elastodynamic problems are solved numerically by using the coupling of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in spatial domain with the differential quadrature method (DQM) in time domain. The DRBEM with the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation transforms the domain integrals into the boundary integrals that contain the first- and the second-order time derivative terms. Thus, the application of DRBEM to elastodynamic problems results in a system of second...
A quasi-incompressible and quasi-inextensible element formulation for transversely isotropic materials Dal, Hüsnü (Wiley, 2019-01-06) The contribution presents a new finite element formulation for quasi-inextensible and quasi-incompressible finite hyperelastic behavior of transeversely isotropic materials and addresses its computational aspects. The material formulation is presented in purely Eulerian setting and based on the additive decomposition of the free energy function into isotropic and anisotropic parts, where the former is further decomposed into isochoric and volumetric parts. For the quasi-incompressible response, the Q1P0 ele...
A DRBEM approximation of the Steklov eigenvalue problem Türk, Önder (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-01) In this study, we propose a novel approach based on the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) to approximate the solutions of various Steklov eigenvalue problems. The method consists in weighting the governing differential equation with the fundamental solutions of the Laplace equation where the definition of interior nodes is not necessary for the solution on the boundary. DRBEM constitutes a promising tool to characterize such problems due to the fact that the boundary conditions on part or all...
A three-scale compressible microsphere model for hyperelastic materials Dal, Hüsnü; MIEHE, Christian (Wiley, 2018-11-09) This paper presents a seminumerical homogenization framework for porous hyperelastic materials that is open for any hyperelastic microresponse. The conventional analytical homogenization schemes do apply to a limited number of elementary hyperelastic constitutive models. Within this context, we propose a general numerical scheme based on the homogenization of a spherical cavity in an incompressible unit hyperelastic solid sphere, which is denoted as the mesoscopic representative volume element (mRVE). The a...
The comparison between the DRBEM and DQM solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation MERAL, GÜLNİHAL; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01) In this study, both the dual reciprocity boundary element method and the differential quadrature method are used to discretize spatially, initial and boundary value problems defined by single and system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. The aim is to compare boundary only and a domain discretization method in terms of accuracy of solutions and computational cost. As the time integration scheme, the finite element method is used achieving solution in terms of time block with considerably large time ...
