The solution of the elastodynamic equations using boundary element methods (BEMs) gives rise to fully-populated matrix equations. Earlier investigations on the Helmholtz and Maxwell equations have established that the Fast Multipole (FM) method reduces the complexity of a BEM solution to N log2 N per GMRES iteration. The present article addresses the extension of the FM-BEM strategy to 3D elastodynamics in the frequency domain. Efficiency and accuracy are demonstrated on numerical examples involving up to N = O(106) boundary nodal unknowns.

Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), which tries to bridge the gap between Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided Design (CAD), has been widely proposed in recent research. According to the concept of IGA, this work develops a boundary element method (BEM) using non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) as basis functions for the 2D half-space acoustic problems with absorbing boundary condition. Fast multipole method (FMM) is applied to accelerate the solution of an isogeometric BEM (IGA-BEM). Several examples are tested and it is shown that this advancement on isogeometric fast multipole boundary element method improves the accuracy of simulations.
