We consider the well-posedness of classical boundary value problems in a theory of bending of thin plates which incorporates the effects of surface elasticity via the Gurtin–Murdoch surface model. We employ the fundamental solution of the governing system of equations to develop integral-type solutions of the corresponding Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary value problems. Using the boundary integral equation method, we subsequently establish results for the existence of a solution in the appropriate function spaces.

Abstract We modify classical thin plate theory by incorporating surface effects via the Gurtin–Murdoch surface model to accommodate the mechanical behavior of thin plates at the nanoscale. We formulate the corresponding Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems and establish uniqueness results in the appropriate function spaces. In addition, we obtain the fundamental solution of the governing system of equations, which is central to further studies concerning well-posedness analysis of the model by the boundary integral equation method. Finally, we validate our model by comparison with results in the existing literature.

Mixed Boundary Value Problems

SynopsisExistence and uniqueness theorems are obtained for a class of mixed boundary value problems associated with the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation. In this context the boundary of the region of interest is assumed to consist of the union of a finite number of disjoint, closed, bounded Lyapunov surfaces on some of which are imposed Dirichlet conditions whilst Neumann conditions are imposed on the remainder. An integral equation method is adopted throughout. The required boundary integral equations are generated by a modified layer theoretic approach which extends the work of Brakhage and Werner [1] and Leis [2, 3].

AbstractA generalized integral equation formulation and a systematic numerical solution procedure are presented for a class of boundary value problems governed by a general second-order differential equation of elliptic type. Diverse numerical examples include problems of plane-wave scattering, three-dimensional fluid flow, and plane heat transfer for a body with a moving flame boundary. The last example employs certain representation functions useful to increase solution effectiveness in problems with an isolated integrable singularity.

Nonsmooth Boundary

The value of the tangential velocity on the Boundary Value Problem (BVP) is inaccurate when comparing the results with analytical solutions by Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM), especially at the intersection region where the normal vector is changing rapidly (named nonsmooth boundary). In this study, the singularity of the BVP, which is directly arranged in the center of the surface of the fluid computing domain, is moved outside the computational domain by using the Desingularized Boundary Integral Equation Method (DBIEM). In order to analyze the accuracy of the IBEM/DBIEM and validate the above-mentioned problem, three-dimensional uniform flow over a sphere has been presented. The convergent study of the presented model has been investigated, including desingularized distance in the DBIEM. Then, the numerical results were compared with the analytical solution. It was found that the accuracy of velocity distribution in the flow field has been greatly improved at the intersection region, which has suddenly changed the boundary surface shape of the fluid domain. The conclusions can guide the study on the flow over nonsmooth boundaries by using boundary value method.
