Boundary Element Analysis of Partially Debonded Shell-Like Rigid Inclusions in Anisotropic Medium

The paper presents boundary element models of anisotropic thermoelastic medium containing partially debonded shell-like rigid inclusions, which possess high rates of heat conduction. Boundary integral equations are derived, which account for partial debonding of a shell-like inclusion at one of its faces. Special attention is paid to full debonding of a rigid shell at two faces simultaneously (bilateral debonding). Obtained equations are implemented in a fast and accurate boundary element approach.
