Popis: The main objective of this paper is to propose a new boundary element method (BEM) modeling for stress sensitivity of nonlocal thermo-elasto-plastic damage problems. The numerical solution of the heat conduction equation subjected to a non-local condition is described using a boundary element model. The total amount of heat energy contained inside the solid under consideration is specified by the non-local condition. The procedure of solving the heat equation will reveal an unknown control function that governs the temperature on a specific region of the solid’s boundary. The initial stress BEM for structures with strain-softening damage is employed in a boundary element program with iterations in each load increment to develop a plasticity model with yield limit deterioration. To avoid the difficulties associated with the numerical calculation of singular integrals, the regularization technique is applicable to integral operators. To validate the physical correctness and efficiency of the suggested formulation, a numerical case is solved.
