TY - EJOU AU - Smyrlis, Yiorgos-Sokratis AU - Karageorghis, Andreas TI - Some Aspects of the Method of Fundamental Solutions for Certain Biharmonic Problems T2 - Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences PY - 2003 VL - 4 IS - 5 SN - 1526-1506 AB - In this study, we investigate the application of the Method of Fundamental Solutions for the solution of biharmonic Dirichlet problems on a disk. Modifications of the method for overcoming sources of inaccuracy are suggested. We also propose an efficient algorithm for the solution of the resulting systems which exploits the symmetries of the matrices involved. The techniques described in the paper are applied to standard test problems. KW - DO - 10.3970/cmes.2003.004.535
