Abstract
The three-dimensional boundary integral equation (BIE) method is used to solve two elastostatic problems involving complex toroidal geometries. The first problem concerns a thick-walled 180 degree pipe bend connected to tangent pipes, subjected to in-plane bending and internal pressure. Results are presented for stresses and are compared with results from previous numerical and experimental work. The second problem concerns a thick-walled pressurized torus, with cross bores situated in the toroidal plane. Separate solutions are given for cross bores located at the intrados and extrados of the torus. Results are presented for the stress concentration factor, and are compared with numerical work for thick-walled cylindrical pipes.
