TY - JOUR AB - This paper is concerned with infinite elements for dynamic problems, that is, those which change in time. It is a sequel to our earlier paper on static problems. The paper is in a number of sections. The first is an introduction. In the second the state‐of‐the‐art review of infinite elements is updated. In the third, ‘added mass’ type effects are considered. In the fourth, time dependent problems of the diffusion type, which only involve the first time derivative are considered. Wave problems are considered in the fifth and the necessary radiation conditions for such problems are summarized. Section six deals with dynamic problems of a repetitive nature, that is periodic or harmonic problems. In section seven completely transient problems are dealt with and some fundamental difficulties are noted. Conclusions are drawn in section eight.
