A boundary element method for the numerical solution of a class of elliptic boundary value problems for anisotropic inhomogeneous media

Abstract

A boundary element method is obtained for a class of two dimensional elliptic boundary value problems for inhomogeneous media. The method can be applied to variety of problems in such areas as antiplane strain in elastostatics, plane thermostatic problems for inhomogeneous anisotropic materials and flow through porous media.
