Abstract: Concepts involving direct approaches for continuum structural reanalysis of modified shapes employing the boundary‐element analysis (BEA) method are considered. A boundary‐element zone‐condensation technique is shown to ...

Abstract: Iterative reanalysis methods are formulated for use with the boundary‐element analysis (BEA) method. They find application, most commonly, in procedures for the optimum design of structural shapes. Reanalysis strategies ...
