Kurzbeschreibung
Das Design von Strukturen mittels BEM (Boundary Equation Methods) ist die Grundlage für zahlreiche Konstruktionsverfahren - Autos, Flugzeuge, Konzertsäle werden unter Anwendung dieser Methode entworfen. Der Autor - eine weltweit anerkannte Größe auf diesem Gebiet - behandelt die mathematischen Grundlagen und die Computersimulation dieses Verfahrens. (05/97)
The boundary element method is more appropriate than the finite element method to tackle linear, wave propagation, infinite domain, mobile boundaries and unknown boundaries problems. In some engineering applications, both methods are combined. This book presents the mathematical basis of this method and its computer implementation. Numerous applications to fluid mechanics, mechanics of solids, acoustics and electromagnetism are developed.
