Boundary Element Analysis in Computational Fracture Mechanics

The Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) method has occupied me to various degrees for the past twenty-two years. The attraction of BIE analysis has been its unique combination of mathematics and practical application. The EIE method is unforgiving in its requirement for mathe­ matical care and its requirement for diligence in creating effective numerical algorithms. The EIE method has the ability to ...
