The boundary element method (BEM), also known as the boundary integral equation method (BIEM), is a modern numerical technique which has enjoyed increasingpopularity over the past two decades. It is now an established alternative totraditional computational methods of engineering analysis. The main advantageof the BEM is its unique ability to provide a complete solution in terms of boundary values only, with substantial savings in modeling effort. This book isdesigned to provide readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the method and its application to problems in engineering and science. Each chapter provides a brief description of historical development, followed by basic theory, derivation and examples.
