Coupling the BEM/TBEM and the MFS for the Numerical Simulation of Wave Propagation in Heterogeneous Fluid-Solid Media

This paper simulates wave propagation in an elastic medium containing elastic, fluid, rigid, and empty heterogeneities, which may be thin. It uses a coupling formulation between the boundary element method (BEM)/the traction boundary element method (TBEM) and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS...
