Plate bending problems have many applications in civil and mechanical engineering. The analysis of plates using the Boundary Element Method (BEM), however, has received little attention in existing research and literature.This book presents new Boundary Element formulations for plate bending problems in which the Reissner plate bending theory is used to model the bending behaviour of the plate.
The author applies several integral equations to solve engineering problems relating to a building slab, beam, footing, and simple raft and the results are compared against analytical solutions such as a finite difference method, a finite element method and a three-dimensional boundary element method. These
confirm that the Boundary Element formulations presented are a competitive alternative to existing numerical methods.
Contents: Introduction; Theory of Plates; The Boundary Element Method; Hypersingular Integral Equation Formulation; Integral Equation Formulation and Fundamental Solution for Foundation Plates; Transformation of Domain Integrals to the Boundary for Foundation Plates; The Boundary Element Method for Foundation Plates; Applications in Structural Analysis; Bibliography; Appendices.
