Abstract

The boundary element method is already well established as an efficient numerical technique to solve a variety of continuum mechanics problems [1, 2]. Solutions exist for problems as complex as plasticity [3], viscoelasticity [4], viscoplasticity [5] and other complex time-dependent and non-linear problems. The literature is, nowadays, very extensive and the interested reader is referred to [2].
