β¦ Synopsis
The center of flexure of a beam of an arbitrary cross-section can be shown to be given in terms of two harmonic functions which satisfy Neumann type boundary conditions. The problem is thus suitable for solution by the boundary element method. It is shown that the determination of the center of flexure can be carried out without resorting to area integrals once the values of the two harmonic functions on the boundary are known. Numerical examples are given for: semicircular ring sections; an equilateral triangular section; and a right triangular section.

## Abstract The FEM analysis of hyper elastic, elastomeric materials has been formulated and implemented for various material models (strain energy functions) over the years. More recently, the analysis of elastomeric materials has been attempted in the boundary element method. This has been achiev
