This paper is devoted to so-called indirect discrete-continual boundary element method of structural analysis. Operational formulation of the problem is given. Using fundamental operational relations of indirect approach after construction of corresponding fundamental matrix-function in a special form convenient for problems of structural mechanics and its application resolving set of differential equations with operational coefficients is obtained. The discrete-continual design model for structures with constant physical and geometrical parameters in one direction is offered on the basis of so-called discrete-continual boundary elements. Basic pseudodifferential operators are approximated discretely by Fourier series. Fourier transformations and Wavelet analysis can be applied as well.
