Several transmitting boundaries which have been proposed for the numerical analysis of problems of wave propagation in continua of infinite extent are reviewed. They are grouped into three broad classes: (1) elementary boundaries (Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions); (2) highly absorbing local boundaries; and (3) consistent transmitting boundaries. A closed-form comparison for the problem of time-harmonic antiplane line load on a stratum shows that elementary boundaries produce strong reflections, local boundaries have good absorption characteristics, and consistent transmitting boundaries are perfect absorbers.
