Wm. Tao et al., ANALYSIS OF 3D CRACK PROBLEMS BY MAPPING SEMIANALYTICAL BEM, Communications in numerical methods in engineering, 13(11), 1997, pp. 827-834
By continuous transformation for a domain, this paper develops a new b
oundary element technique, mapping semi-analytical BEM. Applied to sta
tic/dynamic analysis of 3D embedded arbitrarily shaped crack problems,
it only needs one-dimensional discretization, so the computational wo
rk can be considerably reduced. Some typical examples demonstrate its
effectiveness. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
