The elasticity mixed boundary values problems dealing with half-space contact are generally well resolved. A large number of these solutions are obtained by using the integral transformation method and methods based the integral equations. However, the problems of finite layer thicknesses are less investigated, despite their practical interests. This study resolves a quasi-stationary problem of...

This paper investigates the buckling of finite isotropic rectangular plates with circular cutout under uniaxial and biaxial loading. The complex potential method is used to calculate the pre-buckling stress distribution around the cutout in the plate with finite dimensions. To satisfy the in-plane boundary conditions, the generalized complex-potential functions are introduced and a new method b...

This paper presents to the solutions of the acoustic problem using dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). The acoustic propagates inside the silencer and its sound can be formulated by the three dimensional (3D) Helmholtz equation. The form of the equation is which can be solved by the integral form on the boundary. The conventional boundary element method (BEM) is not suitable for s...

In this paper, we present an efficient method for determining the solution of the stochastic second kind Volterra integral equations (SVIE) by using the Taylor expansion method. This method transforms the SVIE to a linear stochastic ordinary differential equation which needs specified boundary conditions. For determining boundary conditions, we use the integration technique. This technique give...

We study a boundary integral equation method for solving Laplace s equation u with nonlinear boundary conditions This nonlinear boundary value problem is reformulated as a nonlinear boundary in tegral equation with u on the boundary as the solution being sought The integral equation is solved numerically by using the collocation method with piecewise quadratic functions used as approximations t...

Richardson extrapolation is applied to improve the accuracy of the numerical solution of boundary integral equations. The boundary integral equations arise from a direct boundary integral method for solving a Laplace’s equation interior Dirichlet problem. Specifically, the Richardson extrapolation is used to improve the accuracy of collocation. Numerical justification is provided to support the...

Over the past two decades meshless methods have attracted much attention owing to their advantages in adaptivity, higher degree of solution field continuity, and capability to handle moving boundary and changing geometry. In this work, a meshless integral method based on the regularized boundary integral equation has been developed and applied to two-dimensional linear elasticity and elastoplas...

This paper deals with a general framework for a posteriori error estimates in boundary element methods which is specified for three examples, namely Symm's integral equation, an integral equation with a hypersingular operator, and a boundary integral equation for a transmission problem. Based on these estimates, an analog of Eriksson and Johnson's adaptive finite element method is proposed for ...

In this paper, we investigate the solution of a two dimensional parabolic free boundary problem. The free boundary of this problem is modelled as a nonlinear integral equation (IE). For this integral equation, we propose an asymptotic solution as time is near to maturity and develop an integral iterative method. The computational results reveal that our asymptotic solution is very close to the ...
