In this paper, a Laplace domain boundary element method is applied for transient dynamic analysis of three-dimensional multi-domain linear piezoelectric structures. Piezoelectric materials of homogeneous sub-domains may have arbitrary degree of anisotropy. The boundary element formulation is based on a weakly singular representation of the piezoelectric boundary integral equations in the Laplace domain. To compute the time-domain solutions a convolution quadrature formula is applied for the numerical inversion of Laplace transform. Presented multi-domain boundary element method is tested on a three-dimensional problem of nonhomogeneous column which is made of two dissimilar piezoelectric materials and subjected to dynamic impact loading.

This paper presents a Galerkin boundary element method for solving crack problems governed by potential theory in nonhomogeneous media. In the simple boundary element method, the nonhomogeneous problem is reduced to a homogeneous problem using variable transformation. Cracks in heat conduction problem in functionally graded materials are investigated. The thermal conductivity varies parabolically in one or more coordinates. A three dimensional boundary element implementation using the Galerkin approach is presented. A numerical example demonstrates the eáciency of the method. The result of the test example is in agreement with ßnite element simulation results.
