Abstract
AbstractThe mixed‐dimensional coupling of finite shells and 3D boundary elements is presented. A stiffness formulation for the boundary element domain is generated by the Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method and is assembled to the global finite element system. Multipoint constraints are derived in an integral sense by equating the work at the coupling interface. They are evaluated numerically during the analysis and avoid spurious stress concentrations also for curved interfaces. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
