The Edge Function Method (E.F.M.) for Cracks, Cavities and Curved Boundaries in Elastostatics

  • Chapter
Book cover Computational Aspects

Part of the book series: Topics in Boundary Element Research ((TBOU,volume 3))

Abstract

The following paper represents a considerable development of the paper, Quinlan and O’Callaghan (1984), presented at the Sixth International Conference of B.E.M. in Engineering and published in the Conference proceedings. The section on curved boundaries has been greatly expanded with appropriate examples.
