Abstract

The Green's function for potential theory is developed for an axisymmetric void of arbitrary shape located between two parallel walls. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy in the Green's function formulation by comparison with numerical solutions obtained using a commercial finite element code. The present formulation is attractive since numerical implementation only involves unknowns on the surface of the void.
