Abstract

In this work, a new global reanalysis technique for the efficient computation of stresses and error indicators in two-dimensional elastostatic problems is presented. In the context of the Boundary Element Method, the global reanalysis technique can be viewed as a post-processing activity that is carried out once an analysis using Lagrangian elements has been performed. To do the reanalysis, the functional representation for the displacements is changed from Lagrangian to Hermite, introducing the nodal values of the tangential derivatives of those quantities as additional degrees of freedom. Next, assuming that the nod
