Abstract

The BEM relies on the availability of fundamental solutions of the governing differential equations, which are only available for homogeneous domains. As this would restrict the practical application of the method, we explore here the possibility of considering inhomogeneities.

  1. 1.

    This will be the case for the examples presented later which involve relatively thin inclusions, but is not a restriction of the method.
