Abstract: | We propose a method of solving the two-dimensional problem of the theory of elasticity by a direct boundary-element method. We apply Galerkin's method with linear and quadratic approximations of the forces and displacements. We give the numerical results of solving a model problem that shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Translated fromMatematichni Metodi ta Fiziko-Mekhanichni Polya, Vol. 40, No. 3, 1997, pp. 60–63. |
