Description: The purpose of the book is to report on recent research results, presented at the IUTAM Symposium in Vienna in June 1989. All important aspects of discretization methods in structural mechanics are covered, beginning with the mathematical and mechanical fundamentals and followed by the consideration of different types of structural members. The most important feature of the book is that the two most powerful discretization methods are treated in one book, namely the finite element methods (FEM) and the boundary element methods (BEM). Moreover, combinations of these two methods are considered. The customers can derive the benefit from the book that its contents reflects the forefront of scientific research in a field which is characterized by vigorous, world-wide research activities.
