Abstract The fundamental solution, or Green's function, for 3D anisotropic elastostatics as derived by Ting and Lee (1997) [Q.J. Mech. Appl. Math.; 50: 407-426] is one that is fully explicit and algebraic in form. It has, however, only been utilized in boundary element method (BEM) formulations quite recently even though it is relatively straightforward and direct to implement. This Green's function and its derivatives are necessary items in this numerical analysis technique. By virtue of the periodic nature of the angles when it is expressed in the spherical coordinate system, the present authors have very recently represented the Green's function as… More >
