Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

Over the past decades, the Boundary Element Method has emerged as a ver satile and
powerful tool for the solution of engineering problems, presenting in many cases an …

The collocation boundary element method is outlined for the general three-dimensional,
static case of elasticity on the basis of a weighted-residuals statement that leads to the …

The collocation boundary element method is consistently outlined in a companion (Part I)
paper for the general three-dimensional, static case of elasticity on the basis of a weighted …

The collocation boundary element method is outlined in a first companion paper for the
general three-dimensional, static case of elasticity. This is done in a consistent way that …

The collocation boundary element method was recently entirely revisited on the basis of a
consistent derivation of Somigliana's identity in terms of weighted residuals. Both …

The collocation boundary element method, as developed and taught in the traditional books,
suffers from severe inconsistencies, partly responsible for the method's lack of clarity and …

A simple quadrature rule is proposed for the evaluation of one-dimensional quasi-singular
integrals with a complex pole. The technique is based on the concept of synthetic division of …

More than three decades ago, Przemieniecki introduced a formulation for the free vibration
analysis of bar and beam elements based on a power series of frequencies. In the present …

The collocation boundary element method is derived on the basis of the weighted-residuals
statement. Only the static case is addressed, as it already involves all relevant conceptual …
