Abstract

This paper proposes a finite-element (FE) and perfectly matched layer (PML)modeling of three-dimensional (3D) scattering of transient elastic waves in a cracked infinite plate with rectangular cross-section. The FE predictions are validated against 3D semi-analytical literature results. The effects of PML parameters on a root-mean-square error estimate are measured against the reference FE predictions computed using extended meshes. The proposed model is shown, through the numerical examples, to offer huge saving in real run-time at a slight degradation in accuracy. Practical applications indicate its potential in modeling elastic-wave-based nondestructive evaluation of engineering structures. © 2010 World Scientific Publishing Company.
