Abstract
It is not generally possible to compute the boundary integrals and solve the boundary integral equations analytically. Therefore, a numerical approach has to be used. Recent advances, such as the use of isoparametric boundary elements and the careful analytical treatment of singular integrals, have had a major impact on the competitiveness of the B.E.M. in routine two-dimensional as well as in three-dimensional static and dynamic analyses. For more on these developments, aimed at establishing the BEM as a general engineering tool, the reader is referred, for instance to [Ba81a] and [Ba81b].
