✦ Synopsis

The Boundary Element Method, or BEM, is a powerful numerical analysis tool with particular advantages over other analytical methods. With research in this area increasing rapidly and more uses for the method appearing, this timely book provides a full chronological review of all techniques that have been proposed so far, covering not only the fundamentals of the BEM but also a wealth of information on related computational analysis techniques and formulations, and their applications in engineering, physics and mathematics. An indispensable handbook and source of inspiration for researchers and. Read more...

Abstract:

This volume reviews all Boundary Element eigenvalue methods proposed to date, from the basics of the BEM, through an outline of the non-algebraic BE eigenvalue analysis technique, to in-depth consideration of the more elegant algebraic eigenvalue formulations. Read more...
