Application of the Boundary Element Method to Agricultural Engineering Problems : MICROCOMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION OF BEM

摘要

BEM were applied to solve interesting agricultural engineering problems. BEM computer program was run on a microcomputer (Fujitsu MICRO-8) to obtain specific results of the following problems. Tensile stresses developed in a structure of dam inspection gallery caused by a temperature drop were calculated. Pressure development of tomato fruit due to water potential change was also calculated.
