In this paper, the physical model and governing equations of a shallow arch with a moving boundary were studied. A model with a moving boundary can be easily found in a long span retractable roof, and it corresponds to a problem of a non-cylindrical domain in which the boundary moves with time. In particular, a motion equation of a shallow arch having a moving boundary is expressed in the form of an integral-differential equation. This is expressed by the time-varying integration interval of the integral coefficient term in the arch equation with an un-movable boundary. Also, the change in internal force due to the moving boundary is also considered. Therefore, in this study, the governing equation was derived by transforming the equation of the non-cylindrical domain into the cylindrical domain to solve this problem. A governing equation for vertical vibration was derived from the transformed equation, where a sinusoidal function was used as the orthonormal basis. Terms that consider the effect of the moving boundary over time in the original equation were added in the equation of the transformed cylindrical problem. In addition, a solution was obtained using a numerical analysis technique in a symmetric mode arch system, and the result effectively reflected the effect of the moving boundary.

A Mixed Volume and Boundary Integral Equation Method is applied for the effective analysis of elastic wave scattering problems and plane elastostatic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions. It should be noted that this newly developed numerical method does not require the Green's function for anisotropic inclusions to solve this class of problems since only Green's function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is involved in their formulation for the analysis. This new method can also be applied to general two-dimensional elastodynamic and elastostatic problems with arbitrary shapes and number of anisotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions. In the formulation of this method, the continuity condition at each interface is automatically satisfied, and in contrast to finite element methods, where the full domain needs to be discretized, this method requires discretization of the inclusions only. Finally, this method takes full advantage of the pre- and post-processing capabilities developed in FEM and BIEM. Through the analysis of plane elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with orthotropic inclusions and voids or isotropic inclusions, and the analysis of plane wave scattering problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with isotropic inclusions and voids, it will be established that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane wave scattering problems and plane elastic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions and voids/cracks or isotropic inclusions.

In this paper, a boundary-type meshfree method, the boundary radial point interpolation method (BRPIM), is presented for solving boundary value problems of two-dimensional solid mechanics. In the BRPIM, the boundary of a problem domain is represented by a set of properly scattered nodes. A technique is proposed to construct shape functions using radial functions as basis functions. The shape functions so formulated are proven to possess both delta function property and partitions of unity property. Boundary conditions can be easily implemented as in the conventional Boundary Element Method (BEM). The Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) for 2-D elastostatics is discretized using the radial basis point interpolation. Some important parameters on the performance of the BRPIM are investigated thoroughly. Validity and efficiency of the present BRPIM are demonstrated through a number of numerical examples.

In this paper, we consider the second-order nonlinear differential equation with the nonlocal boundary conditions. We first reformulate this boundary value problem as a fixed point problem for a Fredholm integral equation operator, and then present a result on the existence and uniqueness of the solution by using the contraction mapping theorem. Furthermore, we establish a sufficient condition on the functions ${\mu}$ and $h_i$, i = 1, 2 that guarantee a unique solution for this nonlocal problem in a Hilbert space. Also, accurate analytic solutions in series forms for this boundary value problems are obtained by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM).

A fundamental solution for the transient, quasi-static, plane problems of linear viscoelasticity is introduced for a specific material. An integral equation has been found for any problem as a result of dynamic reciprocal identity which is written between this fundamental solution and the problem to be solved. The formulation is valid for the first, second and mixed boundary-value problems. This integral equation has been solved by BEM and algorithm of the BEM solution is explained on a sample, mixed boundary-value problem. The forms of time-displacement curves coincide with literature while time-surface traction curves being quite different in the results. The formulation does not have any singularity. Generalized functions and the integrals of them are used in a different form.

We consider the boundary value problem for the deflection of a finite beam on an elastic foundation subject to vertical loading. We construct a one-to-one correspondence �� from the set of equivalent well-posed two-point boundary conditions to gl(4, ℂ). Using ��, we derive eigenconditions for the integral operator ��M for each well-posed two-point boundary condition represented by M ∈ gl(4, 8, ℂ). Special features of our eigenconditions include; (1) they isolate the effect of the boundary condition M on Spec ��M, (2) they connect Spec ��M to Spec ����,α,k whose structure has been well understood. Using our eigenconditions, we show that, for each nonzero real λ ∉ Spec ����,α,k, there exists a real well-posed boundary condition M such that λ ∈ Spec ��M. This in particular shows that the integral operators ��M, arising from well-posed boundary conditions, may not be positive nor contractive in general, as opposed to ����,α,k.

In this paper we consider a class of singularly perturbed system of delay differential equations of convection diffusion type with integral boundary conditions. A finite difference scheme on an appropriate piecewise Shishkin type mesh is suggested to solve the problem. We prove that the method is of almost first order convergent. An error estimate is derived in the discrete maximum norm. Numerical experiments support our theoretical results.

The aim of this paper is to remove the rigid body motion in the interior boundary value problem (BVP) of plane elasticity by solving the interior and exterior BVPs simultaneously. First, we formulate the interior and exterior BVPs simultaneously. The tractions applied on the contour in two problems are the same. After adding and subtracting the two boundary integral equations (BIEs), we will obtain a couple of BIEs. In the coupled BIEs, the properties of relevant integral operators are modified, and those integral operators are generally invertible. Finally, a unique solution for boundary displacement of interior region can be obtained.
