Book Description

"...a good source of information for experienced researchers investigating advanced BIE formulations in the BEM and for learning the main issues associated with its further development. It can be used as a reference book for a graduate-level course....

The volume will be a good addition to most engineering library collections as well.”

Describing techniques which are universal in character and can be applied to many different engineering problems, this book provides a theoretical and numerical treatment for singular integrals in Boundary Element Methods (BEMs). Both the boundary and domain integrals are considered in two- and three-dimensional boundary value problems, while the use of symbolic computation and the formulation using complex arithmetic in the case of plane problems are outlined. The formulations given deal with the potential problems, elasticity, plate and crack problems.
