Boundary Element Methods XXI (Advances in Boundary Elements Vol. 6)
Boundary Element Methods XXI - Advances in Boundary Elements Vol. 6 Author:C. A. Brebbia This book contains the Proceedings of the Twenty-first International Conference on Boundary Element Methods in Engineering (BEM XXI), held in Oxford, UK, August 25-27, 1999. Research and applications of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) have continued to grow in the last few years and this conference has acted as a focus for major advances since... more » it started in 1978. BEM continues to be a very active area of research; the method has been successfully applied to solve difficult engineering and scientific problems, including the solution of non-linear and time-dependent problems. Considerable advances have also been made in the solution of complex fluid dynamics problems and the use of high performance computing. Practicing engineers, on the other hand, envisage the implementation of the technique as an analysis and design tool, a powerful yet simple to use technique. The BEM conference is internationally recognized as the forum for boundary element research and always attracts a large number of well-established practitioners and leading researchers in the field. The meeting has held a special appeal for young researchers who are actively involved in advances of Boundary Elements. The Edited Proceedings of these meetings have always reflected the state of the art in boundary element research and constitute a record of the latest developments in the technique before they appeared in other publications.« less
