Abstract This paper presents the three-dimensional scattering field obtained when 2D smooth topographical deformations are subjected to a dilatational point load placed at some point in the medium. The solution is formulated using boundary elements for a wide range of frequencies and spatially harmonic line loads, which are then used to obtain time series by means of (fast) inverse Fourier transforms into space-time. The topographical surface is modeled with a number of boundary elements, defined according to the excitation frequency of the harmonic source, and in such a way that the free surface can be discretized More >
