✦ Synopsis

These three volumes comprise the edited Proceedings of the 1 l th International Conference on Boundary Element Methods, which was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during August 1989.

The first volume, entitled Computations and Fundamentals, is divided into four sections: Section 1, on Fundamentals, includes the application of a generalized boundary element method (BEM) to nonlinear problems (N. Tosaka), domain and boundary approaches to thermoelasticity problems (G. Karami), a direct boundary integral equation ( BIE) formulation for the bending of multilayer sandwich plates (G. Davi), a derivation of Green's functions for inhomogeneous anisotropic media (G. Dasgupta), a new hybrid displacement variational formulation for elastostatics (T.G.B. DeFigueredo and C.A. Brebbia) and a comparison of two methods for transforming domain integrals to the boundary (C.A. Brebbia). Section 2, on Adaptive Techniques, Error and Convergence, includes a simple polynomial refinement (prefinement) for two-dimensional (2-D) elasticity problems (T.J. Urekew and J.J. Rencis), an h-p version of the BEM for mixed boundary value problems on plane domains (B.Q. Guo, T. yon Petersdorff and E.P. Stephan), error estimates for adaptive hierarchical boundary elements (P. Perreira), a comparison of the accuracy of boundary and finite clement (FE) techniques for crack problems (A. Portela and M.H. Aliabadi), multilevel solution methods and automatic node moving (W.S. Hall and T.T. Hibbs), error estimates for 3-D elasticity problems (S.H. Crook and R.N.L. Smith) and a
