Acoustic and elastic wave scattering using boundary elements (Topics in engineering)

The study of wave propagation in solids and fluids is of importance in many branches of physics and engineering. This book concentrates on the propagation of acoustic and harmonic waves in three-dimensional regions. The problems are formulated using integral equations and their numerical solutions are obtained through the boundary element method. Theoretical support to the integral equation theory and extensive discussions of the numerical aspects involved in computational implementation are also included.
