Abstract
This chapter is an expansion of a paper, Shaw [1], given at a recent BEM meeting. The aim of this work is to examine some of the several boundary integral equation formulations available for problems of linear elasticity. In particular, emphasis will be placed on a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the widely used displacement-traction formulation, e.g. Cruse and Rizzo [2], based on reciprocity theorems of elasticity and the displacement potential formulations, e.g. Banaugh and Goldsmith [3], which are actually introduced earlier, at least for elastodynamic problems.
