Boundary Element Modeling of Pyroelectric Solids with Shell Inclusions

Transient heat conduction analysis of 3D solids with fiber inclusions using the boundary element method

A boundary element formulation is presented in this work for transient heat conduction analysis of threedimensional (3D) fiber-reinforced materials. The cylindrical-shaped fibers in a 3D matrix are idealized by a system of curvilinear line elements with a prescribed diameter. The variations in the temperature and flux fields in the circumferential direction are represented in terms of a trigono...

Analysis of thin piezoelectric solids by the boundary element method

The piezoelectric boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation is applied to analyze thin piezoelectric solids, such as thin piezoelectric films and coatings, using the boundary element method (BEM). The nearly singular integrals existing in the piezoelectric BIE as applied to thin piezoelectric solids are addressed for the 2-D case. An efficient analytical method to deal with the nearly singul...

Analysis of Piezoelectric Solids through Boundary Element Method

Boundary element method (BEM) is a powerful computational tool for analysing piezoelectric problems. The BEM has been so well developed during the past 40 years that it has been considered as a very popular computational tool. This method consists of formulating the engineering problem in terms of an integral equations relating only boundary values and determining its solutions numerically. Thu...

A coupled Element Free Galerkin / Boundary Element method for stress analysis of two-dimensional solids

(2001) A coupled Element Free Galerkin / Boundary Element method for stress analysis of two-dimensional solids. Abstract Element Free Galerkin (EFG) method is a newly developed meshless method for solving partial differential equations using Moving Least Squares interpolants. It is, however, computationally expensive for many problems. A coupled EFG/Boundary Element (BE) method is proposed in t...
