Application of the Least Squares Method in Axisymmetric Biharmonic Problems

الملخص EN

An approach for solving of the axisymmetric biharmonic boundary value problems for semi-infinite cylindrical domain was developed in the paper.

On the lateral surface of the domain homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions are prescribed.

On the remaining part of the domain’s boundary four different biharmonic boundary pieces of data are considered.

To solve the formulated biharmonic problems the method of least squares on the boundary combined with the method of homogeneous solutions was used.

That enabled reducing the problems to infinite systems of linear algebraic equations which can be solved with the use of reduction method.

Convergence of the solution obtained with developed approach was studied numerically on some characteristic examples.

The developed approach can be used particularly to solve axisymmetric elasticity problems for cylindrical bodies, the heights of which are equal to or exceed their diameters, when on their lateral surface normal and tangential tractions are prescribed and on the cylinder’s end faces various types of boundary conditions in stresses in displacements or mixed ones are given.
