The aim of the present paper is to show the main difficulties implied in dealing with the Symmetric Boundary Element Method and to suggest the necessary strategies for overcoming them. Specifically, some basic characteristics will be shown for making the method valid and computationally effective, and that is to say: strategies for computing all the coefficients in closed form, sub-structuring process of the domain, characteristic matrix calculation in order to determine the elasticity equation and the load vector related to the boundary known actions, assembling process to determine the solving equation system, and transfer of the volume quantities (like body forces and plastic strains) to the boundary through the RIM technique.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to show the main difficulties implied in dealing with the Symmetric Boundary Element Method and to suggest the necessary strategies for overcoming them. Specifically, some basic characteristics will be shown for making the method valid and computationally effective, and that is to say: strategies for computing all the coefficients in closed form, sub-structuring process of the domain, characteristic matrix calculation in order to determine the elasticity equation and the load vector related to the boundary known actions, assembling process to determine the solving equation system, and transfer of the volume quantities (like body forces and plastic strains) to the boundary through the RIM technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
