Abstract: A new nonsingular system of boundary integral equations (BIEs) of the second kind for two-dimensional isotropic elasticity is deduced following a recently introduced procedure by Wu (J. Appl. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a discrete formulation of the nonlinear minimum weight design of welded connections, in which global throat stresses along every fillet are approximated by piecewise linear shape functions. With this ...

Abstract: A parallel domain decomposition boundary integral algorithm for three-dimensional exponentially graded elasticity has been developed. As this subdomain algorithm allows the grading direction to vary ...
