This 1989 volume stresses the way in which the pool of plant
genetic resources provides vital raw material for producing new and
improved crops and as source materials for experimental biologists.
The availability of germplasm - particularly from wild relatives of
crop plants - has become increasingly important with the
development of new technology. These sophisticated new techniques
now enable the plant breeder to make even greater use of many of
the beneficial characteristics found in wild plants - such as
disease- and drought- resistance - and to transfer these
characteristics to improve existing crops. The first four sections
of the volume provide a detailed survey of the role of plant
collections in research and breeding, some case histories for
specific plants, guidance on the size and structure of plant
collections, and, finally, the principles and strategies of
evaluation. The last two sections look at wild relatives of crops
and also the impact of new technology. The volume will be of use to
plant breeders, crop scientists, conservationists and plant
biologists.

Theoretical advances and new foundations have been reported at the
Conference for more than 40 years which has helped expand the range
of applications as well as the type of materials in response to
industrial and professional requirements. Since the conference
started it has attracted high quality papers that report further
advances in techniques that reduce or eliminate the type of meshes
associated with finite elements or finite differences, for
instance. As design, analysis and manufacture become more
integrated, the chances are that the users will be less aware of
the capabilities of the analytical techniques that are at the core
of the process. This reinforces the need to retain expertise in
certain specialised areas of numerical methods, such as BEM/MRM, to
ensure that all new tools perform satisfactorily in the integrated
process. The maturity of BEM since 1978 has resulted in a
substantial number of industrial applications, which demonstrate
the accuracy, robustness and easy use of the technique. Their range
still needs to be widened, taking into account the potentialities
of the Mesh Reduction techniques in general. The included papers
originate from the 46th conference on Boundary Elements and other
Mesh Reduction Methods (BEM/MRM) which acts as a forum to discuss
new ideas and critically compare results before the solution and
tools are released to the end users.
The maturity of BEM over the last few decades has resulted in a
substantial number of industrial applications of the method; this
demonstrates its accuracy, robustness and ease of use. The range of

Theoretical developments and new formulations have been reported
over the last few decades, helping to expand the range of boundary
elements and other mesh reduction methods (BEM/MRM) applications as
well as the type of modelled materials in response to the
requirements of contemporary industrial and professional
environments. As design, analysis and manufacture become more
integrated, the chances are that software users will be less aware
of the capabilities of the analytical techniques that are at the
core of the process. This reinforces the need to retain expertise
in certain specialised areas of numerical methods, such as BEM/MRM,
to ensure that all new tools perform satisfactorily within the
aforementioned integrated process. The papers included were
presented at the 44th International Conference on Boundary Elements
and other Mesh Reduction Methods and report advances in techniques
that reduce or eliminate the type of meshes associated with finite
elements or finite differences.
Originating from the 42nd conference on Boundary Elements and other
Mesh Reduction Methods (BEM/MRM), the research presented in this

with such methods as finite elements or finite differences. The

Some of the topics include: Hybrid foundations; Meshless and mesh

flow modelling; Damage mechanics and fracture; Dynamics and
vibrations analysis.

Formed of presented papers this volume contains research from the
40th International Conference on Boundary Elements and other Mesh
Reduction Methods, recognised as THE international forum for the
latest advances in these techniques and their applications in
science and engineering. The ongoing success of this series is a
result of the strength of research being carried out all over the
world and the coverage has continually evolved in line with the
latest developments in the field. The books originating from this
conference series constitute a record of the development of
BEM/MRM, running from the initial successful development of
boundary integral techniques into the boundary element method, a
technique that eliminates the need for an internal mesh, to the
recent and most sophisticated Mesh Reduction and even Meshless
Methods. Since these methods are used in many engineering and
scientific fields the 2017 book, Boundary Elements and other Mesh
Reduction Methods, like the series before, will be of great
interest to those working within the areas of numerical analysis,
boundary elements and meshless methods. The research papers
included in this volume cover: Advanced formulations; Advanced
meshless and mesh reduction methods; Structural mechanics
applications; Solid mechanics; Heat and mass transfer; Electrical
engineering and electromagnetics; Computational methods; Fluid flow
modelling; Damage mechanics and fracture; Dynamics and vibrations;
Engineering applications; Interfacing with other methods; Coupling
with design and manufacturing; Solution of large systems of
equations.
The Conference on Boundary Elements and Mesh Reduction Methods
(BEM/MRM) is recognised as the international forum for the latest
advances in these techniques and their applications in science and
engineering. Launched in 1978 the Conference continues to attract
original contributions and has become the forum for their rapid
dissemination throughout the international scientific community.
Practically all new boundary element ideas have first appeared in
the proceedings of these meetings.
