Some Applications of Boundary Element Method for Two Dimensional Elasticity

Boundary Element Method for Elasticity Problems

Another general numerical method has recently emerged that provides good computational abilities and has some particular advantages when compared to FEM. The technique known as the boundary element method (BEM) has been widely used by computational mechanics investigators leading to the development of many private and commercial codes. Similar to the finite element method, BEM can analyze many ...

A Galerkin Boundary Node Method for Two-Dimensional Linear Elasticity

In this paper, a Galerkin boundary node method (GBNM) is developed for boundary-only analysis of 2D problems in linear elasticity. The GBNM combines the variational form of a boundary integral formulation for the elastic equations with the moving least-squares approximations for generating the trial and test functions. Unlike the boundary node method, the main idea here is to use the Galerkin s...

A two-dimensional resistance simulator using the boundary element method

A new resistance simulator for extraction of the parasitic parameters from VLSI layout is presented. The calculation of resistor network is based on the boundary element method (BEM). The computational results indicate that the BEM has an advantage over the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM). Since only discretized equations on the boundary of solved domain need ...
