Boundary Element Starter Packs

This set of software provides an introduction to boundary element analysis in the specific fields of stress, fracture and acoustics. PC versions of advanced commercial boundary element software programs are featured and each subject is covered with a text and a self-study guide. Stress Analysis: this package includes the book, "Boundary Elements for Engineers: Theory and Applications for Engineers", by J. Trevelyan, which explains the Boundary Element Method (BEM) in a simple manner, emphasizing its industrial applications. It also includes a self-teaching guide to the BEASY Stress Analysis code with tutorial sessions solving representative examples. The software included is the BEASY-Stress code for PCs, with full capabilities and up to 30 two-dimensional and 80 three-dimensional elements. Acoustics: this package consists of the book, "Boundary Element Methods in Acoustics", edited by R.D. Ciskowski and C.A. Brebbia, which gives details of the relevant theory, and also a self-study guide to the BEASY-Acoustics code. The software provides full capabilities up to 80 three-dimensional elements.
Fracture mechanics and crack growth: this package includes the book, "Numerical Fracture Mechanics", by M.H. Aliabadi and D.P. Rooke, as well as a general theoretical guide and a self-study guide to the BEASY-Crack Growth code (containing several sessions of representative examples). The software is complete with full capabilities including crack propagation and up to 30 two-dimensional elements available to define the original geometry. There is no restriction on the additional elements generated during crack propagation.
