Advances in Boundary Element Techniques

About this book

The book contains a collection of papers written by leading experts in the field providing an overview of the state-of- the-art of boundary element analysis. With treatment s of mechanical, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic phenomena, this book will be of great value to graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in engineering, mathematics and the physical sciences wishing to obtain a broader perspective or remain curret in these important areas of computational simulation. The topics include mathematical, numerical, and compuational aspects, basic formulations, potential, thermal, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics applications, elasticity and elastoplasticity, elastodynamics, electromagnetics, and acoustics, and coupled problems. Throughout this volume, many different boundary approaches are described including the indirect and direct singular and hypersingular collocation and symmetric Galerkin formulations.
