Abstract
This paper presents a new infinite element approach for three-dimensio nal boundary element analysis of half-space problems. The strongly sin gular integrals over the infinite surface are evaluated analytically b y transforming the surface integrals into line integrals. The illustra tive numerical results demonstrate the potential of the formulation. ( C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
