Abstract
The Modified Local Green's Function Method, MLGFM, was proposed as an attempt to easily extend the applicability of the Boundary Element Method to problems which do not have a known fundamental solution. Currently, the MLGFM is being considered as a further implementation of the Galerkin Boundary Element Method, however it does not require the knowledge of a fundamental solution. This is attained by using projections of appropriate Green*s functions on subspaces generated by the finite and boundary interpolation functions, instead of a fundamental solution. Such a procedure has led to accurate solutions in potential and elasticity problems as compared with other numerical methods. The first solutions of the Mindlin's plate model by the MLGFM have been reported by Barbieri & Barcellos [1]. Presently, the MLGFM is briefly reviewed and some further results are compared with finite element method solutions.
