.... The finite element governing equations have been derived in the framework of the Carrera unified formulation (CUF). The effectiveness of each expansion term, that is, of each displacement variable, has been established numerically considering various problems (traction, bending, and torsion), several beam...

... conditions at a corner are displacements prescribed, the values of the unknown tractions at the corner can be determined in advance. Thus, the difficulty related to the multivalued tractions at a corner in BEM analysis for problems with boundary displacements prescribed has been overcome completely...
