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 …

We present a novel numerical method to simulate crack growth in 3D, directly from the
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) geometry of the component, without any mesh generation …

In this review paper, we concentrate on the use of boundary integral equation (BIE) based
methods for the numerical modeling of elastic wave motion in naturally occurring media. The …

A numerical model using a hybrid formulation of a finite element method (FEM) coupled with
the volume of fluid (VOF) technique to simulate the fracture grouting processes in soils is …

We present a method for simulating brittle fracture under the assumptions of quasi-static
linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). Using the boundary element method (BEM) and …

We present a boundary element based method for fast simulation of brittle fracture. By
introducing simplifying assumptions that allow us to quickly estimate stress intensities and …

As shown in an earlier work, the FEM-BEM alternating method is an efficient and accurate
method for fracture analysis. In the present paper, a further improvement is formulated and …

A weakly-singular, symmetric Galerkin boundary element method (SGBEM) is developed for
analysis of fractures in three-dimensional, anisotropic linearly elastic media. The method …

Two-dimensional weakly-singular Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Elements (SGBEMs) are
developed, following the work of [Han and Atluri (2003)], using non-hypersingular integral …

Due to rapid development of boundary element method (BEM), this article explores the
evolution of BEM over the past half century. We here summarize the overall development …
