Boundary element discretization of plane elasticity and plate bending problems

Particular attention is paid to the efficiency of the interpolation used in approximating the boundary quantities and to the precision and computational convenience in evaluating the boundary integrals. The proposed discretization model is based on the use of a quadratic B-spline approximation to represent the boundary variables and on the results from the analytical integration to compute the boundary coefficients
