Abstract

Based on [1], we have further applied the variational principle of the variable boundary to investigate the discretization analysis of the solid system and derived the generalized Galerkin's equations of the finite element, the boundary variational equations and the boundary integral equations. These equations indicate that the unknown functions of the solid system must satisfy the conditions in the element Sa or on the boundaries Гa.

These equations are applied to establishing the discretization equations in order to obtain the numerical solution of the unknown functions. At a time these equations can be used as the basis for the simplified calculation in various corresponding cases.

In this paper, the results of boundary integral equations show that the calculation of integration is not accurate along the surface Гa of interior element Sa by J-integral suggested by Rice [2].
