Application of a Regularized SGBEM Formulation to FEM-BEM Coupling in Elastostatics
Abstract
This paper concerns a procedure, based on the symmetric Galerkin boundary element equations, for computing the stiffness matrix of an elastic region without body forces in terms of boundary nodal displacements. This domain can thus be treated as a macro-element in a FEM calculation. In the present case, the implementation has been done in the Castem 2000 FEM environment. Sample numerical examples are presented; they yield numerical results in good agreement with the corresponding exact solutions.
