We are interested in acoustic wave propagation in time harmonic regime in a two-dimensional medium which is a local perturbation of an infinite isotropic or anisotropic homogeneous medium. We investigate the question of finding artificial boundary conditions to reduce the numerical computations to a neighborhood of this perturbation. Our objective is to derive a method which can extend to the anisotropic elastic problem for which classical approaches fail. The idea consists in coupling several semi-analytical representations of the solution in halfspaces surrounding the defect with a Finite Element computation of the solution around the defect. As representations of the same function, they have to match in the infinite intersections of the halfspaces. It leads to a formulation which couples, via integral operators, the solution in a bounded domain including the defect and its traces on the edge of the halfspaces. A stability property is shown for this new formulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
