A stabilizing approach to resolve the inconsistent results prevalent when applying the standard time domain BEM to 3D problems

The established authority regulating the time domain boundary element method (BEM) suggests that numerical response has been disturbed either due to the presence of noise or a consequence of unstable behavior. Subsequently, there are techniques which can lead to stable time-domain BEM algorithms. But these techniques introduce another time consuming formulation for BEM to overcome instabilities. This paper proposes a new stabilizing approach to resolve the inconsistent results prevalent when applying the standard time domain BEM to 3D problems. The proposed time-weighted time domain BEM could be employed subsequent to the standard BEM process in order to stabilize the unstable computed results of the standard time domain BEM. The proposed approach is tested on three dimensional problems. The results show that the proposed procedure can effectively be used as a stabilizing approach to resolve the inconsistent results prevalent when applying the standard time domain BEM to 3D
