Abstract
The boundary element method (BEM) does not require the domain integral in steady thermoelastic problems without heat generation; but in problems with heat generation, the domain integral is necessary in previous formulation. This paper shows that the problems of steady thermoelasticity under nonuniform heat generation over the region can easily be solved without the region integral by means of the boundary element method in the authors' formulation. However, for the case of general complicated heat generation the domain must be divided into small areas, where distributions of heat generation satisfy the Laplace equations.
