Short description
The boundary element method is a general numerical technique for solving engineering problems. It can be applied to a wide range of physical problems and is especially useful for problems defined over unbounded regions, problems with stress concentrations, and moving boundaries. A thoroughly up-to-date and comprehensive look at BEM, this important two-volume work illustrates its problem-solving potential in a wide range of engineering problems.
