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 …

This article reviews convolution quadrature and its uses, extends the known approximation
results for the case of sectorial Laplace transforms to finite-part convolutions with non …

Wave propagation is an important topic in engineering sciences, especially, in the field of
solid mechanics. A description of wave propagation phenomena is given by Graff [98]: The …

Time-dependent problems that are modeled by initial-boundary value problems for
parabolic or hyperbolic partial differential equations can be treated with the boundary …

In this paper we propose and analyze a new, fast method for the numerical solution of time
domain boundary integral formulations of the wave equation. We employ Lubich's …

Biot's theory of porous media governs the wave propagation in a porous, elastic solid
infiltrated with fluid. In this theory, a second compressional wave, known as the slow wave …

The dynamic behaviour of a railway system is influenced by the interaction of its three
subsystems: the vehicles, the rail construction itself and the subsoil. In this paper, the subsoil …

The progress of the boundary element method (BEM) for solving acoustic wave problems is
reviewed in this paper. The BEM is in a unique position among all the numerical methods …

Wave propagation in porous media is an important topic for example in geomechanics or oil-
industry. Especially due to the interplay of the solid skeleton with the fluid the so-called …

Boundary integral equations with strongly singular and hypersingular kernels can be very
useful in many fields of applied mechanics. In this paper two basic aspects are addressed …
