Abstract:
A time-space boundary element formulation is presented for the boundary-value problems with a governing equation expressed in terms of a certain type of linear operator. The boundary as well as the time domain are divided into a finite series of time-space elements, and the interpolation functions in time and space are introduced in order to construct a final discretized equation for the assembled system. The solving scheme is discussed, and the relation to the practical engineering problems is shown.
