Boundary-Type Integral Formulation of Domain Variables for Three-Dimensional Initial Strain Problems

Abstract

The boundary-type integral formulations of domain variables were presented explicitly for three-dimensional initial strain problems using boundary element method. The domain variables were first represented by complete series of polynomial expansions, then the related domain integrals were transformed into the boundary ones with the aid of the intrinsic correlation among the integral kernels as well as the high ordered fundamental solutions. The applicability of the formulation was discussed briefly.
