On a Reformulated Convolution Quadrature based Boundary Element Method

Summary Applying the usual spatial discretization on the poroelastic quasi-static integral equations and using the Convolution Quadra-ture Method for the temporal discretization yields a boundary element time-stepping procedure. The proposed methodology is tested with an example for consolidation processes in a poroelastic half space. The algorithm shows no stability problems and behaves well over a broad range of time step sizes
