The postbuckling behavior of thin plates under combined loads is studied in this paper by using a mixed boundary element and finite element method. The transverse and the in-plane deformation of the plates are analyzed by the boundary element method and the finite element method, respectively. Spline functions were used as the interpolation functions and shape functions in the solution of both methods. A quadratic rectangular spline element is adopted in the finite element procedure. Numerical results are given for typical problems to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The possibilities to extend the method developed in this paper to more complicated postbuckling problems are discussed in the concluding section.

Nowadays, the simulation of forming processes is rather well integrated in the industrial numerical codes. However, to take into account the possible modifications of the tool during cycle of working, we develop dedicated numerical software. This one more particularly will allow the identification of the fatigue criteria of the tool. With the view to conceiving the optimal shapes of tool allowing increasing their lifespan while ensuring a quality required of the part thus manufactured. This latter uses coupling with friction finite element method — for modelling the axi-symmetric part — and boundary element method — for modelling the tool. For the validation, we modeled forming process.
