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 …

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

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 …

This paper brings an attempt toward the systematic solution of the generalized non‐linear,
complex‐symmetric eigenproblem (K0− iωC1− ω2M1− iω3C2− ω4M2−···) ϕ= 0, with real …

The paper presents an attempt to consolidate a formulation for the general analysis of the
dynamic response of elastic systems. Based on the mode-superposition method, a set of …

A particular implementation of the hybrid boundary element method is presented for the two-
dimensional analysis of potential and elasticity problems, which, although general in …

This paper presents the derivation of a new boundary element formulation for plate bending
problems. The Reissner's plate bending theory is employed. Unlike the conventional direct …

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

Since the introduction of the hybrid boundary element method in 1987, it has been applied
to various problems of elasticity and potential theory, including time-dependent problems …
