A displacement gradient BEM for accurate stress computation near boundaries in 2-D anisotropic problemsA displacement gradient method for 2D anisotropic elasticity problems is presented, which effectively minimizes the boundary layer effect through a two-step procedure. First, the boundary integral equations are solved for the unknown boundary displacements and tractions. Second, a direct integral equation for displacement gradients is developed in terms of boundary tractions. Three methods based on different evaluation procedures and locations for determining the displacement gradients are proposed. In the first method the displacement gradients are averaged at nodes common to adjacent elements. The second method stores the gradients element-wise. In the third method, the gradients are evaluated at the nodes of discontinuous elements. The three methods are applied to near-isotropic plates with circular and elliptic cutouts. It is concluded that all three methods can yield accurate stress distributions.
