Overview

Research into the Boundary Element Method in all its various forms has reached a high level of maturity and it is now well established as part of the computational tool box. The contributors to this volume focus on a class of problems where the BEM can be exploited to full effect. These involve global variations in material behaviour, where the material properties vary throughout the domain in a piecewise constant fashion, or where the variation may be adequately represented by an anisotropic elastic medium approximation.

Focuses on a class of problems that involve global variations in material behavior, but where the material properties vary throughout the domain in a piecewise constant fashion, thereby permitting the use of a sub-structure approach, or where the variation may be adequately represented by an anisotropic elastic medium approximation. In either case, the boundary element method can be exploited for full effect. The seven contributions cover the analysis of microscopic composite materials, composite laminates, composite structures, rock mechanics, and the flow of fluids containing suspended particles.
