Boundary Element Methods for Engineers and Scientists An Introductory Course with Advanced Topics

This introductory course on the classical Boundary Element Method also contains advanced topics such as the Dual Reciprocity and the Hybrid Boundary Element Methods. The latter methods are extensions that permit the application of BME to anisotropic materials, as well as multi-field problems and flu...
