Abstract
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.
