Abstract: This article reviews advances in the application of boundary element methods (BEM) to fracture mechanics which have taken place over the last 25 years. Applications discussed include linear, ...

Abstract: A boundary-element formulation for modeling the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete is presented. The influence of reinforcements on the concrete is considered as a distribution of forces over the region of attachment. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the domain integrals due to uniform load or self-weight that appear in the boundary element method (BEM) formulation for thick plates resting on elastic foundations are transformed to boundary integrals. The ...
