Recent advances in boundary element methods: a volume to honor professor Dimitri Beskos

This volume, dedicated to Professor Dimitri Beskos, contains contributions from leading researchers in Europe, the USA, Japan and elsewhere, and addresses the needs of the computational mechanics research community in terms of timelyinformation on boundary integral equation-based methods and techniques applied to a variety of fields. The contributors are well-known scientists, who alsohappen to be friends, collaborators as past students of Dimitri Beskos. Dimitri is one the BEM pioneers who started his career at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, USA, in the 1970s and is now with the University of Patras in Patras, Greece. The book is essentially a collection of both original and review articles on contemporary Boundary Element Methods (BEM) as well as on the newer Mesh Reduction Methods (MRM), covering a variety of research topics. State of the art in boundary element and meshless methods Up-to-date coverage of most specialities in solid and fluid mechanics Specialized information gathered in the appropriate context New developments and contemporary problems in mechanics References to work done in BEM over the last two decades
