ENGINEERING ANALYSIS WITH BOUNDARY ELEMENTS

Stress analysis of a front bumper fascia using boundary element

method :
 In BEM only the boundary has to be discretized in order to compute the solution
for domain.
 The elements generated by discretization process are arranged on the surface
of materials and represent the boundary condition.
 In BEM only the boundary of domain needs to be discretized,whereas in FEM
the descritization happens for entire volume of components analysed.
 The surface with a complex geometry is one in which there are structural
differences that cannot be generated by traditional manufacturing process.
 The purpose of this work was to solve a problem involving stress analysis using
BEM sub model
 The main contribution of using BEM is to predict stress in automotive
components.
 This process will help in reduce cost and time in developing products.
