Contains papers first presented at a series of international conferences. Papers are in sections on fracture mechanics and fatigue, elastic and inelastic problems, numerical and computational techniques, inverse problems, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, composite materials, plates and shells, geomechanics, electrostatics and electromagnetics, fundamental principles, wave propagation problems, acoustics, and dual reciprocity method and basis functions. Some specific topics are high performance computing on boundary element simulations, solution of an inverse Stokes problem using interior data, temperature conduction across double brick walls via boundary element methods, and simulation of gas-solid particle flow. The editors are affiliated with Wessex Institute of Technology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
