Abstract

In recent years, the boundary element method has become a very powerful numerical tool for the analysis of a wide range of engineering problems and a very popular alternative to the finite element method. There has been a spectacular increase in theoretical developments and applications of boundary elements and numerous commercial codes have been developed and are routinely used for a wide range of practical problems.
