Boundary Element Techniques in Geomechanics

Booknews

Presents boundary integral-based numerical techniques that have been widely successful in solving problems of geomechanics, including problems that involve semi-infinite boundaries or geological materials. The topics include the governing equations and constitutive models used in geomechanics, fluid-structure interaction, and the representation of ground as a medium with random properties. Also includes the listings for two computer programs, one for pile foundation in linear soil, and the other for wave propagation in soil. For geomechanical, structural, hydraulic, and civil engineers. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
