Abstract: The fatigue behavior of load-carrying cruciform fillet welded joints has been studied extensively using the dual boundary element method. This method, which incorporates two independent boundary integral equations, uses ...

Abstract: This paper concerns on the development of numerical models for cracked square hollow sections (SHSs) T-, Y-, and K-joints. Based on these numerical models, the plastic collapse loads Pc are ...

Abstract: The stability problem has prevented the application of the boundary element method/finite element method (BEM/FEM) coupling procedure in dynamic fluid–structure interaction problems for the last 2 decades. It has been ...
