1.Introduction
The recent
development
of theboundary
elemeBt method(BEM)
in various fieldsinengineering looks remarkable, ascanbe
$een inRefs,i'5) Especially,'fairlysuccessful applications ofthemethod tosuchproblems that
thefiniteelement method
(FEM)
seems tobeunsuitable・to use havebeen realized. However, therestillexistsometechnical
difficuities
inherentlyihvolved inthe(direct)
BEM, one of which isconceTned with theexistence of the(complet
or exact) fundamentalsolution fora given differentialequation. In fact;we'usually' encounter thenon-existence of complete fundarnentalsolutions forgeneralinhomogeneous bodiesalthough differentialoperators
involvedare relatively simple. Generalnon-self-adjoint problems are another noticeable caseof thenon-existence of complete fundamentalsolutions. Furthermore,inthe so-called displacement-typeBEM theremay occur thelossof accuracy in resulting stresses ifapproximate
gr
incomplete・fundamental solutions are employed..
Recently,several studies
for
overcoming thesedifficultieshavebeenmade. Brebbia'}hasshown applications ofthe BEM toinhomogeneoustwo-dimensionalelasticity and potentialproblems wherein inhomogeneity isidealized
bytheassemblage ofa certain number of homogeneous regions, resulting a globallydiscontinuousinhoniogeneous region, so thata general continuous variation of inhomogeneitycannot be'treated.Butterfield6・T)analysed
continuously inhomogeneottsproblems inpotentialflowsand beams on elastic foundation,The fundaniental
solutions for the correspondipg homogeneous cases are used therein, and itwas shown that the effect of
inhomogeneityappears as the occurance of domainintegrals.The similar approach hasbeenemployed also by
Tanaka and TanakaS,9)forthermoelastic and elastodynamic ptoblems. Ontheother hand,Tosaka and KakudaiO・'i・'Z)'
'
developed a mixed-type procedure inthe BEM, in which the principaldifferential operator is canonically
'
decomposed
and thefundamental
solution forthedecomposeddifferentialoperator isused. Theyhaveapplied'this scheme to the fourth-orderself-adjoint and non-self-adjoint elasticity and eigenvalue problems. However,their application' islimitedtohomogeneeuscases and theinvestigationof applichbility and efficiency of the mixed schemeto inhomogeneous-casesisstill leftopen.
Thispaperdealswiththe mixed scheme inthe BEM applied to homggeneousand inhomogeneous linerelastic
beam-dolumnstogetherwith the sirnply-supported end condition. The formulationisbasedon the method of weighted residuals and integratienby parts,'whichisequivalent to the methodology dueto Green'sformula,
Althoughtheproblem treated
herein
isquitesimple, some fundamentalnew featuresof themixed BEM may bewell recognized. Totally three mixed schemes are presented.The firsttwo schems are applied to homogeneousbeam-coiumnswherein theconcept of the`degree of incompleteness'of fundarnentalsolutions isillustrativelyshown
which hasnot beenconsidered
by
Tosaka and Kakuda(see
also'Section'2), The third scheme isused forinhomogeneous cases. This scheme can beobtained by a simple modification of thg second scheme, and ismore
easily performableas compared with theprocedure giveq byButterfieldand others. Resultsof numerical examples
are
given,'
and the approximate solutioris are compared with the exact onesiS) forthe estimation of accuracy and convergence.2.Summary on the Mixed Scheme

each scheme isnot cenfined to the simply-suppoted case butappiicable to other boundaryconditions, However, since differentboundgry conditions generallyleadto differentadmiss{ble spaces, thepreviousdiscussiongivenfor

Conclusions
'
We haveconsidered the mixed scheme inthe
(direct)
BEM applied tothe displacement and stress analyses ofhomogenousand inhomogeousbearn-columns.ForthepurpQse of
glarifying
thecharacteristic of the mixedBEM anditsinterrelationto themixed FEM, abriefcomparative study of the mixed schemes intheFEM and BEM hasfirst
been made for a simply-supported homogeneousbeam-columnin a somewhat general situation involving the
fundamental methodologY of the mixed procedure.In applications, totallythree mixed boundary element schernes, refered to as Schemes 1,2 and 3, havebeengiven wherein Schemes 1and 2are concernecl with homogeneous
beam-columnsand Scheme 3 isforinhoinogeneousones.
The
difference
betweenSchemes 1 and 2' represents, on the ene hand, the conception of the `degTeeof
incompleteness'of
fundamental
solutions;the degreeishigherinScheme2(or
lowerinScheme 1).On theotherhand,S¢heme2uses the same fundamentalsolution forthetwo decomposedequations, while Scheme1is
different
;thesymmetrical usage of weighting functionsisrealized inScheme 2.Scheme3hastheessentially same structure as
Scheme 2, so that the extensionforinhomogeneouscases isstraightforward・.
The resulting discreteinterior and boundaryequations havebeen solved by iteration.Iterationprocedurei$ convenient ferthealternation of discretization'inthe interiorof thedomain since the coefficient matrices dependonly
on the boundarydiscretization.'
Some numerical examples havebeen analysed, and effects of the above mentioned contrastive propertiesin
Schemes
1and 2 and inhomogeneity concerningScheme
3havebeeninvestigated.The numerical results haveshown as awhole fairlygood accutacy'and convergence. This may demonstratethevalidity of thepresentmixea BEM forhomogeneousand inhomogeneousbeam-columns. '
