β¦ Synopsis
A min-max principle for elastic solids, expressed in terms of the unknown boundary displacements and tractions, is presented. It is shown that its Euler-Lagrange equations coincide with the classical boundary integral equations for displacements and for tractions. This principle constitutes a suitable starting point for a symmetric sign-definite formulation of the boundary element method.

Viscoelastic solids may be eectively treated by the boundary element method (BEM) in the Laplace domain. However, calculation of transient response via the Laplace domain requires the inverse transform. Since all numerical inversion formulas depend heavily on a proper choice of their parameters, a d
