Watson, J O
The development of boundary element methods as seen by one researcher in the field is described, from publication of the first results in 1963 to the present day. Details are given of the circumstances in which research was carried out. The objectives of the research are outlined, and the strategy according to which progress was made towards those ...

The present paper discusses the author’s experience and contributions to the implementation and development of the boundary element method (BEM). The main motivation for this descriptive text is to pay homage to Professor Frank Rizzo’s well known career, dedicated to boundary integral techniques, whose recent retirement certainly deserves recogniti...

Abstract This is the first of two special issues of the Electronic Journal of Boundary Elements dedicated to Frank Rizzo. To say that Frank Rizzo played an important role in the development of what he referred to as “boundary integral equations” would not give much credit to where much credit is due. While it could be argued that the use of integra...
Rizzo, Frank J.
This memoir is about some embryonic thoughts and experiences with what is now often called the Direct Boundary Integral Method for boundary value problems in ‘classical elastostatics.’ It covers a very early period for me, from about 1954 to 1965, when I wrestled with relevant theoretical and mathematical issues, which I thought were important, pri...

Frank Rizzo proposed the first Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) formulation for linear elasticity in a seminal paper in 1967. I have had the very good fortune to call Frank a friend of mine for many years. The present paper describes some of my experiences with the BIE over nearly thirty years, some of it in the context of Frank’s pioneering contri...
