Abstract
An efficient dual reciprocity hybrid radial boundary node method is developed for the analysis of Winkler and Pasternak foundation thin plate, in which a hybrid displacement variational principle, radial point interpolation method (RPIM) and dual reciprocity method (DRM) are combined. Firstly, the hybrid displacement variational principle is developed, in which the domain variables are interpolated by two groups of symmetric fundamental solutions, while the boundary variables are interpolated by RPIM instead of the traditional moving least square, and the shape function obtained by RPIM satisfies the delta function property, so boundary conditions can be applied directly. Besides, DRM is exploited to evaluate the particular solutions of inhomogeneous terms, which can be used to transform the domain integrals arising from the inhomogeneous term into equivalent boundary integrals. Finally, some additional equations based on the DRM theory are proposed to overcome the problem that the boundary integral equations are not enough to solve all variables. This method has the advantages of both no element mesh of meshless method and dimensionality reduction of boundary element method. Numerical examples of Winkler and Pasternak foundation plates are given to illustrate that the present method is effective, accurate and it can be further expanded into practical engineering.
