Abstract
The boundary element method has now become a well-established numerical technique for the solution of engineering problems. It can be used in preference to finite elements to solve a range of linear and non-linear problems. The main advantages are
-
⋆ Data preparation is reduced and simplified
-
⋆ The accuracy of the results is increased
-
⋆ Infinite and semi-infinite domains can be properly modelled
-
⋆ No discretization is required along the symmetry axis
-
⋆ Results at internal points are calculated only where they are required, saving computer time.
Because of all these advantages the boundary element method is becoming increasingly popular with practicing engineers as well as researchers for solving a large variety of problems.
