“…the analyses presented begin with well-known fundamental equations and r ll
d a
follow a logical progression to the final solutions. …The book provides a thorough
Boundary Methods in
treatment of the theory that underpins FEA and BEA as applied to the solution
of vibro-acoustic problems and, as such, it is a valuable textbook for graduate
F
students majoring in acoustics or vibration.”

“This book paves the way for the curious researcher… the authors encourage the t and Vibration
r
reader to think about the various simplifications and assumptions that have been uE
made in the case examples presented—an essential stepping stone for both the
cl
junior and senior researcher. This book fills a great need to provide the essential e
t
basis for anyone who may be required to use finite element methods and especially um
boundary element methods in structural acoustics.” r

This book provides a unique and in-depth presentation of the finite element method At

(FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) in structural acoustics and
ca
vibrations. It illustrates the principles using a logical and progressive methodology
on
which leads to a thorough understanding of their physical and mathematical
ud
principles and their implementation to solve a wide range of problems in structural
acoustics and vibration. s Noureddine Atalla

It is written for final-year undergraduate and graduate students, and also for engineers Franck Sgard
and scientists in research and practice who want to understand the principles and su
n
use of the FEM and the BEM in structural acoustics and vibrations. It is also useful
a
for researchers and software engineers developing FEM/BEM tools in structural d
n
acoustics and vibration. a
