An approximate fundamental solution of static bending is used for this formulation. The resulting boundary integral equations are discretized by means of the boundary-domain element method. The forced vibration of elastic plates subjected to a time-harmonic exciting load is computed by a new computer code developed in this study, whereby the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated.
