β¦ Synopsis
A volume integral equation technique developed by
Lee and Mal (J. Appl. Mech. Trans. ASME 64 (1997)
- has been extended to investigate three-dimensional stress problems with multiple inclusions of various shapes. Based on the volume integral formulation, displacement continuity and traction equilibrium along the interfaces between the matrix and the inclusions are automatically satisfied. While the embedding matrix is represented by an integral formulation, only the inclusion parts are discretized into finite elements (isoparametric quadratic 10-node tetrahedral or 20-node hexahedral elements are used in the present study). A number of numerical examples are given to show the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper a procedure to solve the identiΓΏcation inverse problems for two-dimensional potential ΓΏelds is presented. The procedure relies on a boundary integral equation (BIE) for the variations of the potential, ux, and geometry. This equation is a linearization of the regular BIE for small chan
The boundary integral equation method is used for the solution of three-dimensional elastostatic problems in transversely isotropic solids using closed-form fundamental solutions. The previously published point force solutions for such solids were modiΓΏed and are presented in a convenient form, espe
