Publisher's Synopsis
Vol. 1 deals with basic formulations,mathematical and numerical aspects of the techniques and computational methods of interest to boundary element researchers and practitioners. Further subjects dealt with are the coupling of boundary and finite elements, inverse problems and research in progress. Vol. 2 deals with heat transfer, including diffusion and convection problems and general potential problems. Other sections are dedicated to papers on fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics followed by a substantial number of papers on electrostatics and electromagnetics applications. Vol. 3 covers stress analysis topics of current interest including inelastic problems, fracture mechanics, contact problems, plate bending, design sensitivity and optimization, industrial applications and several papers on computer codes. Vol. 4 deals with geomechanics, wave propagation and vibrations. Special sections are dedicated to papers on rock and soil mechanics and soil dynamics, acoustics, elastodynamics and plate vibrations and dynamic coupling.
