✦ Synopsis


A general, efficient and robust boundary element method (BEM) formulation for the numerical solution of three-dimensional linear elastic problems in transversely isotropic solids is developed in the present work. The BEM formulation is based on the closed-form real-variable expressions of the fundamental solution in displacements U ik and in tractions T ik , originated by a unit point force, valid for any combination of material properties and for any orientation of the radius vector between the source and field points. A compact expression of this kind for U ik was introduced by Ting and Lee (Q.
