✦ Synopsis

A new method to reduce the solution time of matrices generated by the Boundary Element Method is presented here. The method involves converting the fully populated system into a banded system by lumping certain coefficients of the matrix into fictitious nodes and then constraining these nodes to accurately represent each coefficient. The major advantages of lumping over the substructuring method are that lumping can be applied to arbitrarily shaped geometries and infinite-domain problems and that it preserves the diagonal-dominance of the matrix. It is shown here that the proposed algorithm reduces the rate of increase of solution time t of an n-degree-of-freedom problem from t cc n3 to t cc n2. Although the algorithm is for thermal problems, its extension to mechanical problems is straightforward. The procedure can easily be incorporated into existing boundary-element-based packages.

A boundary element procedure is developed concerning the prediction of the quasistatic crack growth in uniformly heated bimaterials. This procedure assumes the existence of an initial small crack in one of the two phases, and further cracking progress from this point due to thermal loading. The resu
