Abstract
A novel single-step domain decomposition technique for the elastic wave pro pagation problem is introduced in this paper, based on the Huygens principl e. The method allows an effective and efficient implementation on parallel computers through coarse-grain multiprocessor computations. The various tes ts and numerical examples let infer that it is very competitive in comparis on with classic substructuring techniques, specially for implicit discretiz ation schemes.
