Boundary Elements XII

Review of recent developments in the technique of the boundary element method, a tool for engineering design. Topics discussed include fluid mechanics, acoustics, electromagnetics and engineering.

---

The Boundary Element Method has become an accepted and powerful method for the solution of many engineering problems. Recent theoretical and computational developments have transformed the BEM from a technique purely for research into an efficient tool for engineering design. The 12th International Conference on Boundary Elements in Engineering held at Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan during 24-27th September 1990 reviewed the latest developments in the technique and pointed out advanced future trends. This book of proceedings on boundary element methods, fluid mechanics, field problems, stress analysis, dynamics is intended for researchers and practising engineers and industrial users of boundary elements.
