The corrosion of structures is needed to be identified early to prevent any severe damage of buildings. The conventional technique such as potential mapping for diagnosing of reinforced concrete corrosion has been used widely in the field. However, the method has limitation such as less accuracy, laborious and time-consuming. This study is conducted to develop boundary element method 3 dimensions by considering polarization curves of anode and cathode for corrosion simulation and analyzed the influences of anode profiles for RC corrosion simulation. In this method, the potential in concrete domain was modeled by Laplace’s equation. The anode and cathode areas were represented by each polarization curves. The numerical simulation result shows that the boundary element method 3 dimensions successfully solved the Laplace’s equation in order to simulate corrosion phenomenon of reinforced concrete. The influences of anode profiles for RC corrosion simulation have been analyzed. Further works are needed to reduce the computational effort of corrosion simulation.

The purpose of this paper is to solve dynamic fracture problems of plates under both tension and bending using the boundary element method (BEM). The dynamic problems were solved in the Laplace-transform domain, which avoided the calculation of the domain integrals resulting from the inertial terms. The dual boundary element method, in which both displacement and traction boundary integral equations are utilized, was applied to the modelling of cracks. The dynamic fracture analysis of a plate under combined tension and bending loads was conducted using the BEM formulations for the generalized plane stress theory and Mindlin plate bending theory. Dynamic stress intensity factors were estimated based on the crack opening displacements.
