fundamentals and followed by the consideration of different types of
structural members. The most important feature of the book is that
the two most powerful discretization methods are treated in one book,
namely the finite element methods (FEM) and the boundary element
methods (BEM). Moreover, combinations of these two methods are
considered. From the book, readers can derive the benefit that
its contents reflect the forefront of scientific research in a field
which is characterized by vigorous, world-wide research
activities.

The boundary element method has come of age in
engineering analysis due to a wide range of research and applications
in industry. In essence, BEM greatly simplifies engineering analysis
due to its accuracy and efficiency over existing techniques such as the
finite element method. The method is now available in commercial
packages which have been intensively used by engineering firms
throughout the world. Nevertheless, research continues in developing
BEM for easier use by the industry, by integrating it with CAD/CAM,
and more importantly perhaps, in exploring its surprising adaptability
to various new areas in engineering. For instance, it has been
successfully applied in solid and fluid mechanics fields such as stress
analysis, water waves, ground water flow, aerodynamics, and thermal
problems. Many new applications are being explored: inverse problems,
sensitivity analysis, stochastic BEM, moving interface problems,
electromagnetics, acoustics and many others.
These books offer BEM researchers, code developers and
industrial users the opportunity of acquiring a detailed industrial
overview of the application of the new technology and of hearing
results and needs in computational tools of other industrial users, as
well as new developments in research of the technology.

This book contains the edited proceedings of the Third Japan-China

in April, 1990.
Significant developments in the boundary element method during
the last two decades have made it a powerful alternative to the
domain-type numerical methods of solution such as the finite element
method. The advances made in the BEM are more or less due to the
innovation of efficient computational techniques by introducing
boundary elements for discretization of the boundary integral equations
resulting from the so-called direct formulation. BEM has therefore
become an efficient tool for optimal design and other inverse problems.
These proceedings include discussion of the applications of BEM in
mechanical engineering and the principles that have developed to make
it an increasingly useful method of problem solving.

ISBN: 1 56252 173 X (US, Canada, Mexico)
As the boundary element method evolves and its application to solve
different engineering problems continues to increase, specialized
conferences such as BETECH 93 (Boundart Element Technology VIII) are
essential to discuss recent developments.
It is indicative of the importance of the BETECH Conferences that
all major developments in BEM have been reported at these seminars well
before they were published in learned journals. These meetings are
hence the best way to keep informed of new developments in the method
and its applications to solving engineering problems.
This book contains the edited version of some of the papers
presented at the BETECH Conference held in Vilamoura, Portugal,
November 1993. The material discussed covers topics such as Fluid
Dynamics, Fluid Flow, Thermal Problems, Electrical Problems, Stress
Analysis, Damage Tolerance, and Computational Aspects, with emphasis on
practical applications.

The remarkable developments in boundary element research in recent
decades have been mainly attributable to the innovation of efficient
computational techniques by introducing boundary elements for
discretization of the boundary integral equations. Owing to the many
important breakthroughs in this domain, BEM has been widely
recognized as one of the main techniques in computer-aided engineering
(CAE). BEM is an efficient tool for optimal shape design and other
topical inverse problems. Further advances continue to be made in
innovating and developing more efficient solution procedures based on
BEM for both linear and nonlinear problems. The impact of advanced
computer technology, including down-sizing and networks as well as
super and parallel computers, is a major influence factor in the further
extensions and applications of BEM. The most important topics in BEM
are described here by well-known researchers in the field. The 38 papers
are characterized by a combination of tutorial and state of the art
aspects.

ISBN: 1 56252 207 8 (US, Canada, Mexico)
As the interest in the Boundary Element Method grows amongst the
scientific and engineering community, the International Conference
series on Boundary Element Methods is becoming increasingly important
to provide researchers and practitioners with a forum to interchange
ideas on the state of the art and future directions of boundary element
technology. Papers presented in these Volume 1 Proceedings of the 16th
Boundary Element Method Conference held in Southampton in July 1994,
are of exceptionally high quality and continue to bring to the
attention of the community new ideas in the field of boundary elements.
The largest number of papers are grouped in this Volume 1 of the
set which includes the following sections: Diffusion Problems,
Acoustics, Heat Transfer, Electromagnetics, Inverse Problems, Numerical
and Computational Aspects, Adaptive Techniques, Accuracy and Error
Analysis, Stress Analysis, Contact Mechanics, Damage Tolerance,
Vibrations, Geomechanics, Optimization and Security and Coupling Problems.
A special feature of this 16th Conference has been the
organization of a series of sessions on Fluid Mechanics which are
grouped together in Volume 2 and include sections on Potential Flow,
Stokes Flow Interfacial and Free Surface Flow and Wave Motion.

ISBN: 1 56252 206 X (US, Canada, Mexico)
The boundary element method (BEM) has come into its own as a powerful
technique for engineering analysis of field problems arising in
industry and research. The BEM is now a serious competitor to the
popular finite difference and finite element methods, and industrial
BEM codes are making headway in becoming a commonplace analysis tool in
industry. There are now two annual international meetings dedicated to
providing a forum for the exchange of ideas between researchers and
industrial users of the BEM: the International Conference on Boundary
Elements (BEM) series and the Intenational Boundary Element Technology
Conference (BETECH series). Traditionally, the newest developments in
the BEM have appeared in the proceedings of these meetings prior to
publication in professional journals.
The BETECH series predominantly emphasises applications of the BEM
and this book contains the edited versions of papers presented at the
9th International Conference on Boundary Element Technology, held at
the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida in March 1994.
The papers cover heat transfer, fluid flow, electromagnetics,
electrochemical processes, acoustics, stress analysis, plates and
shells, and fracture mechanics. In addition, several papers cover BEM
application to inverse problems, computational aspects of the BEM, and
developments of fundamental solutions.

Fluid dynamics is traditionally one of the most challenging areas of
computational mechanics, the simulation of fluid motion is always a
serious test for any numerical method, in particular non-linear
problems. Recent developments in the Boundary Element Method have been
very successful in dealing with complex fluid flow problems. The BEM
continues to be an area of very active research in Computational Fluid
Dynamics, where the emphasis is on developing new algorithms and
widening the field of applications.
This book presents and discusses advances in the application of
the BEM to engineering and applied science, covering Stokes flow,
Potential flow, Wave motion, Non-linear flow, and Interfacial and
free-surface flow.
This book contains the edited versions of the papers presented at
the 2nd International Workshop on Boundary Element methods in Fluid
Dynamics, which was held in conjunction with the 16th Boundary Element
International Conference in Southampton, UK.
