The boundary element method in sensitivity analysis, optimization and identification
This paper deals with applications of the boundary element method to sensitivity analysis, optimization and identification problems. The main motivation is to give a unified exposition with particular reference to the most recent author's numerical results.
Keywords: boundary element method; boundary integral equations; sensitivity analysis; shape optimization; defects identification
