Abstract

The research in recent decades has established the boundary element method (BEM) as a powerful tool in computational mechanics. Even dynamic and non-linear problems have been solved for fluid and solid mechanics. One of the remaining drawbacks is that the BEM as previously used is based on an explicit knowledge of fundamental solutions. In many engineering problems, e.g. anisotropic media, we do not know these fundamental solutions.
