Abstract
A boundary element formulation for a Reissner plate on a Pasternak foundati on is presented in this paper. The complete expressions for internal point kernels are given for the first time. Quadratic isoparametric boundary elem ents are used to discretise the plate boundary. An efficient arrangement of the boundary element system matrices is discussed. Several examples are pr esented to demonstrate the accuracy and the validity of the present formula tion. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
