On the reduction of domain integrals to the boundary for the BEM formulation of plates on elastic foundation

This paper proposes a way of reducing the domain load integrals present in plate bending formulations into boundary integrals. The paper specifically deals with plates on Winkler-type elastic foundations. Numerical results using both the boundary technique and domain integral scheme are presented fo...

Summary:This paper proposes a way of reducing the domain load integrals present in plate bending formulations into boundary integrals. The paper specifically deals with plates on Winkler-type elastic foundations. Numerical results using both the boundary technique and domain integral scheme are presented for various plate configurations. Results using the proposed technique are also compared against analytical solutions for a particular plate problem.
