Element Method

This paper presents a novel variant of the boundary element method, here called the boundary contour method, applied to three-dimensional problems of linear elasticity. In this work, the surface integrals on boundary elements of the usual boundary element method are transformed, through an application of Stokes’ theorem, into line integrals on the bounding contours of these elements. Thus, in this formulation, only line integrals have to be numerically evaluated for three-dimensional elasticity problems—even for curved surface elements of arbitrary shape. Numerical results are presented for some three-dimensional problems, and these are compared against analytical solutions.

Element Method

The method of dislocation distribution has been applied extensively to crack related problems by many people in the last fifteen years. It has been proved to be very successful in terms of accuracy and versatility. However, the potential of applicability of this method has not been fully explored. This paper shows a way to apply this method to plane stress problems with any geometry and loading conditions. The method of dislocation distribution is similar to the Boundary Element Method in spirit, but has the advantage of enjoying the fully developed numerical schemes in solving the formulated system of singular integral equations. Without extensive investigation, it is hard to tell whether this new approach will produce better results than the traditional BIE method. However, as demonstrated by the excellent results from the numerical examples, this method should be competitive and have the potential to become one of the best candidates for the type of elasticity problems where local stress evaluation is needed.

Element Method

A boundary element solution is developed for the analysis of thin elastic clamped plates of any shape resting on a Pasternak-type elastic foundation. The plate may have holes and it is subjected to concentrated loads, line loads, and distributed loads. The analysis is complete, i.e., deflections, stress resultants, subgrade reactions, and reactions on the boundary are evaluated. Several numerical examples are worked out and the results are compared with those available from analytical solutions. The efficiency of the BEM is demonstrated and discussed.
