Lecture Notes in Engineering A Boundary Element Method for Two-Dimensional Contact Problems

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has been established as a powerful numerical tool for the analysis of continua in recent years. The method is based on an attempt to transfer the governing differential equations into integral equations over the boundary. Thus, the discretization scheme or the intro...
