Abstract
A structural analysis method based on a combined use of the boundary element and transfer matrix methods is proposed for static problems of folded plate structures. A transfer matrix is, in this paper, evaluated by assembling of those for in-plane and plate bending problems, which are derived from the systems of equations based on the ordinary boundary element method for in-plane and plate bending problems, respectively. This method, therefore, permits the use of a large number of elements, without getting involved with large matrices. Some numerical examples of plates and folded plate structures subjected to various loads are proposed and their results are compared with those obtained by the finite element method.
