In this paper, a single-region BEM formulation for the three-dimensional analysis of fractures in geomechanics is developed. The technique allows the use of continuous elements in the discretization of the crack surfaces. Intially, an example from earthquake control theory is solved to demonstrated

A two-dimensional boundary element method for analysis of closed or partially closed cracks under normal and frictional forces is developed. The single domain dual formulation is used. As a contact problem is non-linear due to the friction phenomena at the crack interface and also because of the bou
Overhauser's original idea of linearly blending two sets of quadratic C 0 -continuous basis functions to produce a set of C 1 -continuous basis functions is employed by linearly blending two sets of quadratic C 1 -continuous basis functions. The result is a set of eight basis functions which are C 2
A general shape design sensitivity analysis approach, different from traditional sensitivity methods is developed for three-dimensional elastostatic problems. The boundary integral design sensitivity formulation is given in order to obtain traction, displacement and equivalent stress sensitivities w
A numerical method is proposed for the e cient solution of shape optimization problems, which combines the boundary perturbation technique and ΓΏnite element analysis. The method is computationally e cient in that it requires a number of ΓΏnite element analyses with a ΓΏxed geometry, as opposed to stan
