<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>

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.

<p>This book contains papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art. The papers deal with the design of many types of buildings in Islamic countries and the influence that these structural forms have had in non-Islamic countries. Coverage will also include construction materials.There is much to learn from past experiences to arrive at solutions that are environmentally sound and sustainable in the long term. As conventional energy resources become scarce, the Islamic design heritage can offer invaluable lessons on how to deal with difficult and extreme environments in an efficient manner. Traditional architecture and urban environment in most Islamic countries is now being eroded by overemphasis on global type of architecture and city planning. Consequently, many regions are losing their identity. The Conference will aim to review these developments in the light of what the classical Islamic urban designs and architectures have to offer modern society. There will also be coverage of conservation techniques appropriate to the materials and structural forms used.The contents will be of interest to all researchers, practitioners and government employees actively involved with Islamic Heritage Architecture.</p>

This collection of research papers, presented at meetings organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT), concerns a variety of issues relating to the area of sustainable development. WIT has a long and very successful record of organising conferences on the topic of sustainability, which requires an interdisciplinary approach. Any sustainable solutions that are derived solely from the perspective of a single discipline may have unintended damaging consequences that create new problems. Thus effective sustainable solutions require the collaboration of scientists and engineers from various disciplines, as well as planners, architects, environmentalists, policy makers, social scientists, and economists.Delegates to the 3rd International Conference on Environmental and Economic Impact on Sustainable Development contributed the peer-reviewed papers contained in this book. The papers discuss the most serious problems affecting sustainable development. They consider the impact of economic constraints on the environment, taking into account the social aspects as well as the over-use of natural resources.Uncontrolled development can also result in damage to the environment in terms of the release of toxic substances and hazardous waste. Thus, attention is paid to issues related to whether some forms of development are compatible with environmental protection, particularly in cases of possible serious contamination and toxicity.The focus in the book is on more constructive and progressive approaches to the problems discussed, to ensure sustainability. The hope is that through the shared experiences of experts, we can learn from past failure, to avoid repeating similar mistakes, while attempting to prevent emerging threats to the environmental and ecological systems. Fundamental to these concepts are an analysis of the inherent risks and the development of appropriate strategies.The papers in the book address such topics as: Environmental policies and planning; Environmental assessments; Development issues; Sustainable cities; Economic impact; Natural resources management; Energy and the environment; Food production systems and policies; Ecosystems health; Soil contamination; Remediation; Decommissioning of hazardous plants; Brownfields rehabilitation; Water resources management; Air and water pollution; Toxicity studies; Pollution and public health; Environmental health risk; Community participation; Legislation and regulations.

Covering the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability held in Alicante, Spain, this volume addresses the multidisciplinary aspects of urban planning; a result of the increasing size of cities, the amount of resources and services required and the complexity of modern society.Most of the earth's population live in cities and the process of urbanisation still continues generating problems originating from the drift of the population towards them. These problems can be resolved by cities becoming efficient habitats, saving resources in a way that improves the standard of living. The process faces a number of challenges related to reducing pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems and these challenges can contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances and require the development of new solutions.Large cities are probably the most complex mechanisms to manage, nevertheless they represent a productive ground for architects, engineers, city planners, social and political scientists able to conceive new ideas and time them according to technological advances and human requirements.The Sustainable City XI follows a succession of very successful international conferences and covers the following fields: Urban planning and design; Urban development and management; Urban conservation and regeneration; The community and the city; Eco-town planning; Landscape planning and design; Environmental management; Sustainable energy and the city; Transportation Quality of life; Socio-economic and political considerations; Cultural quarters and interventions; Waterfront development; Case studies - sustainable practices; Architectural issues; Cultural heritage issues; Appropriate technologies for smart cities; Planning for resilience; Disaster and emergency response; Urban safety and security; Waste management; Urban infrastructure and Urban metabolism.
