Abstract
The paper deals with the boundary element discretization
of plates based on the Kirchhoff and the Reissner
models. The discretization uses a macro-element management
with independent interpolation fields, which allows
the inclusion of discontinuities in the boundary data,
and on a quadratic B-spline approximation of the boundary
variables. The analytical evaluation of integrals is
used everywhere within the Kirchhoff model, while in
the Reissner model the Bessel functions, which appear
in the fundamental solution, require some numerical integrations.
The numerical experiments refer to non-smooth
problems, having mixed boundary conditions and skew
domains. The results are compared with finite element
and other boundary element results.
