Abstract

In this paper, to analyze the initial valued non-homogeneous elastic half space by the scaled boundary analysis, the infinite element approach was introduced. The free surface of the initial valued non-homogeneous elastic half space was modeled as a boundary of the circumferential direction of the scaled boundary coordinate. The infinite element was used to represent the infinite length of the free surface. The initial value of material property was considered by the position of the scaling center and the power function of the radial direction. By the using of the mapping type infinite element, the consistent elements formulation could be available. The performance and the feasibility of proposed approach are examined by a numerical example.
