Abstract In this paper, a time-domain boundary element method formulation for the analysis of three-dimensional elastodynamic problems with arbitrary, non-null initial conditions is presented. The formulation is based on the convolution quadrature method, by which the numerical stability is improved significantly. In order to take into account the non-null initial conditions in this formulation, a general method is developed to replace the initial conditions by equivalent pseudo-forces based on the pseudo-force method. The original governing equation is transformed into a new one subjected to null initial conditions. In the numerical examples, longitudinal vibrations of a free More >
