Boundary integral equation solution of three-dimensional elastostatic problems in transversely isotropic solids using closed-form displacement fundamental solutions

The boundary integral equation method is used for the solution of three-dimensional elastostatic problems in transversely isotropic solids using closed-form fundamental solutions. The previously published point force solutions for such solids were modi ed and are presented in a convenient form, especially suitable for use in the boundary integral equation method. The new presentations are used as a basis for accurate numeri- cal computations of all Greenʹs functions necessary in the BEM process without inaccuracy and redundant computations. The validity of the new presentation is shown through three numerical examples
