Abstract: A new method for the free‐vibration analysis using the boundary element technique is presented. The method utilizes a fictitious vector function to approximate the inertia forces and then uses the well‐known concept of ...

Abstract: A new boundary-element formulation using particular integrals is developed for the free-vibration analysis of axisymmetric solids. The numerical results for a number of axisymmetric free-vibration ...

Abstract: A boundary element formulation for thermoplastic analysis of axisymmetric bodies subjected to axisymmetric loads is developed. This formulation is implemented in a multiregion system that utilizes quadratic isoparametric ...

Abstract: An efficient method of analysis has been developed to determine the steady‐state dynamic response of vertically loaded piles and pile groups embedded in a soil stratum in which the stiffness increases linearly with depth. ...

Abstract: A new boundary element formulation is introduced for the treatment of gravitational and centrifugal body forces in axisymmetric elastic media. This new formulation is based on the method of particular integrals, which ...
