Thermoelastic Fracture Mechanics using Boundary Elements (Topics in Engineering)

This book presents the analytical formulation and numerical implementation of the three-dimensional dual boundary element method (DBEM) for the thermoelastic analysis of mixed-mode crack problems in linear elastic fracture mechanics. The DBEM overcomes the problem of the singular matrix inherent to crack modelling by incorporating two pairs of independent boundary integral equations, namely the temperature and displacement, and the flux and traction equations.Diego N. Dell'Erba is the author of 'Thermoelastic Fracture Mechanics using Boundary Elements (Topics in Engineering)', published 2001 under ISBN 9781853128493 and ISBN 185312849X.
