A numerical method based on boundary integral equations and radial basis functions for plane anisotropic thermoelastostatic equations with general variable coefficients

doi:10.1007/s10483-020-2592-8

Abstract

Abstract: A boundary integral method with radial basis function approximation is proposed for numerically solving an important class of boundary value problems governed by a system of thermoelastostatic equations with variable coefficients. The equations describe the thermoelastic behaviors of nonhomogeneous anisotropic materials with properties that vary smoothly from point to point in space. No restriction is imposed on the spatial variations of the thermoelastic coefficients as long as all the requirements of the laws of physics are satisfied. To check the validity and accuracy of the proposed numerical method, some specific test problems with known solutions are solved.

Key words: elliptic partial differential equation, variable coefficient, boundary element method, radial basis function, anisotropic thermoelastostatics
