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 …

To predict the sound radiation of structures, both a structural problem and an acoustic
problem have to be solved. In case of thin structures and dense fluids, a strong coupling …

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 …

In this paper, special-purpose elements are developed for solving local effects caused by
discontinuous loads such as concentrated forces, line loads and patch loads applied in …

A finite element model is formulated to study the steady-state vibration response of the
anatomy of a whale (Cetacea) submerged in seawater. The anatomy was reconstructed from …

The present developments result from the combination of the variationally-based, hybrid
boundary element method and a consistent formulation of the conventional, collocation …

Fluid–structure interaction plays a crucial role for simulating vibro–acoustic, multi–field
problems. The paper starts with the fundamentals of the boundary element method for …

The present developments rely on a consistent formulation of the conventional, collocation
boundary element method with the aim to establish a computationally less intensive …

The boundary element method (BEM) is a numerical method for solving boundary-value or
initial-value problems formulated in boundary integral equations (BIEs). In some literature, it …

The present developments result from the combination of the variationally-based, hybrid
boundary element method and a consistent formulation of the conventional, collocation …
