Description
Summary:The book presents a new boundary element formulation for the solution of boundary-value problems in potential theory and linear elastostatics. The basis of the approach is a multi-field variational principle. A stiffness type of formulation is generated, involving a symmetric stiffness matrix, which is only evaluated on the boundary. The formulation is completely developed and its implementation in computer code is explained in detail. Se- veral numerical examples are shown and the solutions are compared to analytical and to other approximate solutions. Further a study of the convergence of the solutions is presented.
