Boundary elements for engineers

This book is designed to make BEM more accessible to students and engineers looking for a concise overview of the method and the mathematics behind it. The book also contains many examples of realistic engineering analysis problems, describing how the BEM can be applied most effectively. The problem with the boundary element method is that, although to the end-user BEM software appears refreshingly simple, the theory behind it is rarely described with anything approaching that simplicity. Text books are widely available for the academic engineer, but not so for the practising engineer. This…
