Some of the 68 papers presented here by Kassab (U. of Central Florida, US), Brebbia (Wessex Institute of Technology, UK), Divo (U. of Central Florida), and Poljak (U. of Split, Croatia) came from the 27th World Conference on Boundary Elements and other Mesh Reduction Methods, held in March of 2005. The remainder comes from the associated 7th International Seminar or Computational Methods in Electrical Engineering and Electromagnetics. The papers from the boundary element conference address meshless methods, dual reciprocity method, advanced formulations, inverse problems, stress analysis, plates and shells, damage mechanics, wave propagation, fluid problems, electrostatics and electromagnetics, and computational problems. The electrical engineering and electromagnetics papers, covering theoretical and applied topics, discuss interaction of humans with electromagnetic fields, high frequency electromagnetic field coupling to transmission lines, numerical and computational methods, and electrical engineering and electronics.

This book contains the edited proceedings of the 27th World Conference on Boundary Elements together with papers presented at the associated International Seminar on Computational Methods in Electrical Engineering and Electromagnetics. The Boundary Element Conference series continues to attract original contributions on theoretical and fundamental developments, as well as innovative applications. Its scope has also recently been expanded to include other mesh reduction methods. The presentations from the Computational Methods in Electrical Engineering and Electromagnetics Seminar cover a wide variety of theoretical and applied topics. Over 65 papers are included and these are divided under the following headings: BOUNDARY ELEMENTS AND OTHER MESH REDUCTION METHODS - Meshless Methods; Dual Reciprocity Method; Advanced Formulations; Inverse Problems; Stress Analysis; Plates and Shells; Damage Mechanics; Wave Propagation; Fluid Problems; Electrostatics and Electromagnetics; Computational Problems. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND ELECTROMAGNETICS - Interaction of Humans with Electromagnetic Fields; High Frequency Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Transmission Lines; Numerical and Computational Methods; Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
