In this paper, the kernel-based collocation methods are constructed for elastic wave scattering problems by multiple obstacles. Using Helmholtz decomposition, the original Navier equations for elastic waves in unbounded domain are reformulated into a Helmholtz equation system with two potential functions, coupled on the obstacle boundaries. To handle the unbounded domain, the transparent boundary conditions (TBC) are built based on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) operator. The proposed method employs a kernel-based collocation method that combines radial basis functions (RBFs) with a weighted least-squares (WLS) method. The WLS formulations are proposed by setting more collocation points than trial centers and adding weights with respect to fill distance of collocation sets at obstacle and TBC boundary collocation terms.

Moreover, the computational complexity of the method is investigated theoretically and compared with computing times for an implementation based on the open source software package NGSolve. The numerical results indicate that, for relevant wavenumber regimes, the size of the resulting linear systems for the ACMS method remains moderate, such that sparse direct solvers are a reasonable choice. Moreover, the ACMS method exhibits only a weak dependence on the selected domain decomposition, allowing for greater flexibility in its choice.

First, by integrating both sides of the HPIDE, we transform it into a new form of a partial integro-differential equation with a time derivative of first order. This new formulation allows the proposed method to ultimately reduce the problem of finding an approximate solution to a system of linear algebraic equations without employing linearization techniques. Next, for the discretization of the newly obtained form in temporal direction, a combination of the Crank–Nicolson finite difference technique and numerical integration methods, including the trapezoidal and rectangle integration rules, is utilized. This process results in a finite difference scheme with second-order convergence, and its stability and convergence are thoroughly examined using energy method. The Richardson extrapolation technique is also utilized to improve the convergence order in the temporal dimension.

We recognize that there are significant differences in the rate of variation of these parameters in space. Based on the actual characteristics of the material parameters, we perform adaptive layered design according to the magnitude of their spatial variation rates. In regions where the parameters change drastically, finer layering is employed, while in areas with relatively gentle parameter variations, coarser layering is used. This method aims to enhance the manufacturability of stealth devices, enabling the design of dual-functional electrothermal stealth devices in a more efficient manner In order to verify the feasibility of this approach, an adaptive finite element method has been used to numerically simulate the proposed device.
