Tóm tắt

In this paper, a new subdomain solution of the boundary element method based on complex variable fundamental solutions for non-homogeneous materials is developed. Being different from the conventional BEM, subdomains in the method presented can be produced by considering not only the properties of materials, but also the geometry and correspondent boundary conditions of the problem. The formulation may be combined with other complex variable fundamental solutions to provide higher accuracy and better efficiency. The coupling formulations are given in matrix form, and the numerical procedure is described. the advantages and high efficiency of the present method are demonstrated by two numerical examples.
