Abstract A new computational model by integrating the boundary element method and the compactly supported radial basis functions (CSRBF) is developed for three-dimensional (3D) linear elasticity with the presence of body forces. The corresponding displacement and stress particular solution kernels across the supported radius in the CSRBF are obtained for inhomogeneous term interpolation. Subsequently, the classical dual reciprocity boundary element method, in which the domain integrals due to the presence of body forces are transferred into equivalent boundary integrals, is formulated by introducing locally supported displacement and stress particular solution kernels for solving the inhomogeneous 3D linear elastic system. Finally, several examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present method.

1 Introduction It is noted that for 3D linear elasticity with the presence of arbitrary body forces, analytical solutions are available only for a few problems with very simple geometries, boundary conditions and body force terms such as gravitational forces (Piltner 1987; Wang and Zheng 1995; Qin and Mai 1997; Qin 2000; Qin and Ye 2004; Barber 2006; Lee et al. 2008). In most cases, as irregular geometries or boundaries are involved, numerical solutions are usually sought. Numerical methods such as the finite element method (FEM), the finite difference method (FDM) and the boundary element/integral method (BEM/BIM) provide alternative approaches to approximate the 3D elasticity solutions in the past decades (Jirousek et al. 1995; Qin and Mai 2002; Qin 2003, 2005; Bathe 2006). Among them, the FEM and the FDM require domain discretization while the BEM/BIM requires only boundary discretisation for the homogeneous partial differential equations (PDE) and thus has advantage of dimension reduction over the FEM/FDM. However, domain discretisation is generally unavoidable in the BEM/BIE for the inhomogeneous PDE problems like the 3D linear elasticity problems with arbitrary body forces under consideration. To make the BEM a truly
