A new computational model by integrating the boundary element method and the compactly supported radial basis functions (CSRBF) is developed for three-dimensional (3D) linear elasticity with the presence of body forces. The corresponding displacement and stress particular solution kernels across the supported radius in the CSRBF are obtained for inhomogeneous term interpolation. Subsequently, the classical dual reciprocity boundary element method, in which the domain integrals due to the presence of body forces are transferred into equivalent boundary integrals, is formulated by introducing locally supported displacement and stress particular solution kernels for solving the inhomogeneous 3D linear elastic system. Finally, several examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present method.
