A Neumann series representation for solutions to boundary-value problems in dynamic elasticity

Abstract

A regularized integral equation formulation for two exterior fundamental boundary-value problems in elastodynamics is presented. In either case, the displacement vector is assumed to be harmonic in time with a small frequency. It is shown that the solution can be expressed as a Neumann series in terms of the prescribed function; moreover, a sufficient condition for the convergence of the series is established.
