Boundary Element Topics

The volume contains papers presented at the final conference of the DFG Research Program in Boundary Element Methods. The contributions deal with and offer solutions for problems arising in the application of BEM to engineering tasks. TOC:Efficient Calculation of Acoustic Fields by BEM.- A BE-Formulation for Generalized Viscoelastic Solids in Time Domain Bimetal Problems.- Analysis of 3D Elastoplastic Notch and Crack Problems Using BEM.- Integral Equations Arising from Instationary Flows around Thin Wings.- Galerkin-Type BE Analysis for 3D Elasticity Problems.- Parallel Coupling of FEM and BEM for 3D Elasticity Problems.- Fast Algorithms for the Solution of Pseudodifferential Equations; Different Methodologies for Coupled BEM and FEM with Implementation on Parallel Computers.- Error Analysis for the BEM on Nonsmooth Curves.
