<p>These two volumes of proceedings mark the 15th anniversary of the International Conference on Boundary Elements (BEM XV) which was held at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in August 1993. The meeting attracted over 100 participants and the edited versions of the papers are arranged here in two volumes and the following sections: diffusion problems, fluid flow, fluid dynamics, wave problems, acoustics, dual and multiple reciprocity methods, inverse problems, hypersingular integrals, numerical aspects, adaptive techniques, accuracy and error techniques, stress analysis, plates and shells, contact mechanics, damage tolerance, vibrations, geomechanics, optimization and coupling problems. The first conference in the series was held in Southampton in 1978 and it is the recognized and established forum for innovations in boundary element research. The conference has established an outstanding reputation for attracting speakers from universities, research institutions, and industry throughout the world. Many new developments in BEM on a wide variety of topics are contained in these proceedings which should be of great interest to theoreticians and practising engineers alike. The book also includes a series of invited papers and two keynote addresses from leading figures in the field.</p>

The increasing size and complexity of new structural forces in engineering have made it necessary for designers to be aware of their dynamic behaviour. Dynamics is a subject which has traditionally been poorly taught in most engineering courses. This book was conceived as a way of providing engineers with a deeper knowledge of dynamic analysis and of indicating to them how some of the new vibrations problems can be solved. The authors start from basic principles to end up with the latest random vibration applications. The book originated 1n a week course given annually by the authors at the Computational Mechanics Centre, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, England. Special care was taken to ensure continuity in the text and notations. Southampton 1984 CONTENTS Page Foreword Chapter 1 Introduction to Vibration 1. Introductory Remarks 1 2.

Boundary concepts are introduced and immediately applied in simple - but useful - computer codes. These codes facilitate the comprehension of boundary elements. This text also discusses basic concepts, potential problems, elastostatics and other topics of interest to engineers.

This book contains papers presented at an International Seminar on Supercomputing in Fluid Flow, held in Lowell, Massachusetts. It gives state-of-the-art applications of simulation using supercomputers.The speed and power of supercomputers are continually being improved and new types of architecture and algorithms are simultaneously being developed sothat supercomputing applications can take advantage of them. Among all theapplications of supercomputing for numerically intensive problems, perhaps the most significant is in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly in the graphic visualization of the fluid flow field. In the problems of the aerodynamics of aircraft, spacecraft and automobiles, mathematical modeling with supercomputing is now a viable alternative for obtaining speedy and less expensive results compared with model testing.

This volume contains special contributions presented at the 14th International Conference on Railway Engineering Design and Operation (COMPRAIL/14) held in Rome. It is a companion to the Volume containing most of the contributions (Vol 135 of WIT Transactions on the Built Environment) and comprises papers presented orally during the Conference. Encouraging the update and use of advanced systems, the book promotes their general awareness throughout the management, design, manufacture and operation of railways and other emerging passenger, freight and transit systems. It particularly emphasizes the use of computer systems in advanced railway engineering. The book consists of five sections, covering: Planning; Computer techniques and simulations; Energy supply and consumption; Monitoring and control; Safety and security.
