Boundary elements in acoustics. Advances and applications (Q2735606)

Publisher's description (no review copy received): This book presents state-of-the-art information on nearly all aspects of boundary element method calculations in acoustics. Special attention is paid to efficiency and accuracy issues, frequency and time domain procedures, direct and indirect formulations, and hybrid as well as inverse techniques. Bringing together contributions from leading teachers and well-known researchers, the text is divided into three major parts, the first providing the governing relations, the second dealing with special topics and more advanced formulations, and the third focusing on formulations for special problems as well as on representative applications. This volume will be invaluable not only to acoustic engineers and researchers, but also to applied mathematicians, ocean engineers, and postgraduate students who need to understand the BEM and its many applications in this area.
