Boundary Element Methods for Engineers:

Part I: Potential Problems

Boundary Element Analysis of Potential Problems

With an 1 (, )function other than constant, the same kind of procedure can be applied, provided
a particular integral equivalent to Equation 2.105 can be found by analytical integration of 1 (, ). If
this is not possible then numerical integration over the domain must be used.
Problems
2.1 Show that the fundamental solution defined by Equation 2.4 satisfies Laplaces equation in plane
polar co-ordinates

2.2 Define the constants 1, 2 and 3 in the general potential boundary condition Equation 2.3 in
terms of the heat transfer parameters in Equation 1.57.
2.3 For a linear boundary element with a node at each end, the distribution of potential can be
expressed as

() = 1 ()1 + 2 ()2

where 1 and 2 are the values at the first node where =-1 and the second node where =+1,
respectively. Derive expressions for the shape functions N1 () and N2 ().
