Boundary element analysis of plate-soil interaction

This paper presents a boundary element method formulation to analyze plate-soil interactions problems. The subgrade reaction is assumed to vary linearly into triangular surface elements and the integral in the domain of these elements is transformed into an integral over its boundaries, avoiding the...

Description
Summary:This paper presents a boundary element method formulation to analyze plate-soil interactions problems. The subgrade reaction is assumed to vary linearly into triangular surface elements and the integral in the domain of these elements is transformed into an integral over its boundaries, avoiding the singularity in r −1 of the fundamental solution of the soil.
