Boundary Element Modelling of Interface Phenomena

  • Chapter
Applications in Geomechanics

Part of the book series: Topics in Boundary Element Research ((TBOU,volume 4))

Abstract

In this article we examine the application of the boundary element method to the study of the non-linear interface behaviour between two material regions. The non-linear interface response is modelled either by Coulomb frictional behaviour or by interface plasticity. An incremental formulation is adopted for the analysis of the non-linear pheonomena. The incremental non-linear analysis is used to examine the two-dimensional problem of a finite elastic region which contains a circular rigid inclusion. The numerical results presented in the paper illustrates the manner in which the non-linear phenomena at the inclusion-elastic medium interface contributes to the global non-linear responses in the composite.
