Description
This volume contains most of the papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Boundary Element Methods held in Sintra, Portugal. The BEM Conference series has always reflected the most recent advances in the technique and this volume continues that tradition by concentrating on developments, such as dual reciprocity, some advanced formulations and meshless methods, which are currently attracting the attention of the scientific community. Other papers cover a wide range of applications, mostly dealing with the solutions of complex problems. A valuable aid to understanding the BEM and a source of ideas and applications, the book contains almost 70 papers dealing with the following themes: BEM in Portugal; meshless methods; plates and shells; advanced formulations; dual reciprocity method; acoustics; electrostatics and electromagnetics; transport and fluid problems; wave propagation problems; stress analysis; composite materials; inverse problems; and computational techniques.
