Abstract

AbstractA computationally advantageous multi‐domain boundary element formulation is presented for uncoupled thermoelastic analysis of two‐ and three‐dimensional isotropic media. Particular integrals capable of representing exactly a quadratic temperature distribution in both two and three dimensions are employed. These particular integrals are derived using an orderly approach. When temperature data are provided at discrete points, the best fit quadratic distribution is generated in the least square error sense which, together with a multi‐domain approach, makes it possible to represent an arbitrary temperature distribution within acceptable bounds. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the present formulation, which is now incorporated in a general purpose boundary element code named GPBEST.
