Abstract
The boundary integral equation (BIE) numerical technique is applied to several practical pressure vessels and piping problems. Axisymmetric and three‐dimensional formulations of the BIE method for linear elastic stress analysis are reviewed. Isoparametric quadratic elements which exhibit excellent modelling capabilities are used to discretize the surfaces. Several three‐dimensional and axisymmetric structures are analysed.
