Boundary Elements and Other Mesh Reduction Methods

The International Conference on Boundary Element and other Mesh Reduction Methods is now in its 29th year. The papers presented at the conference are contained in this volume. The continued success of this important meeting is due to the strength of the work carried out by the community since the original conference took place in Southampton in 1978. The current meeting continues with the tradition of innovation and quality, which have been the trademarks of these conferences. The book contains a series of important sections including: meshless techniques, advanced formulations, dual reciprocity method, computational issues, fluid mechanics applications, heat and mass transfer, plates and shells, wave propagation, damage mechanics and fracture, electrical engineering & electromagnetics and inverse problems.
