Boundary Integral Equation Methods for Solids and Fluids / Edition 1

by Marc Bonnet

Overview

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.
