Notes:
A dual reciprocity method (DRM) for the analysis of problems involving thin patches adhesively bonded to a thin sheet is presented. Displacement compatibility between the sheet and patches is enforced. The attachment forces are modelled as body forces acting in subdomains within the sheet and patch domains. The DRM is used to avoid the discretization of the attachment subdomains into internal cells. The formulation presented does not require the storage and inversion of the DRM coefficients matrix. Results are presented for the attachment forces which demonstrate the accuracy of the solution proposed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
