Numerical Solution of the Kirchhoff Plate Bending Problem with BEM

الملخص EN

Direct approach based on Betty's reciprocal theorem is employed to obtain a general formulation of Kirchhoff plate bending problems in terms of the boundary integral equation (BIE) method.

For spatial discretization a collocation method with linear boundary elements (BEs) is adopted.

Analytical formulas for regular and divergent integrals calculation are presented.

Numerical calculations that illustrate effectiveness of the proposed approach have been done.
