“…Apart from Poisson-type equation, DRBEM is also employed for integral equation involving biharmonic operator r 4 , especially structural analysis of plates like bending problem [118], buckling problem [65], large deflection problem [255] and vibration problem [54]. Moreover, the application of DRBEM to date has successfully been implemented in areas including heat conduction problems [12,22,234,[244][245][246][265][266][267], heat convection problem [41], convective-diffusive heat problem [228,229], fluid flow problems governed by the Navier-Stokes equation [42,70] and crack problem [7,252]. As DRBEM proved to have practical applicability, it was later extended to three dimensional problems [1,73,250].…”
