The book comprises 26 contributions by more that 60 leading researchers in Boundary Element Methods (BEM) and other Mesh Reduction Methods (MRM). All contributors are well-known scientists from all over the world. The volume, besides a review chapter by Professor Brebbia on the career and the scientific work of Professor Katsikadelis, is essentially a collection of original articles covering a variety of research topics in the areas of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, potential theory, inhomogeneous or composite materials, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, plasticity, heat transfer, dynamics and vibrations, soil-structure interaction. The chapters contained in this volume appear in alphabetical order by first author and most of them are relevant to and reflect the research interests of Professor Katsikadelis.

Evangelos SAPOUNTZAKIS is Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering of the School of Civil Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, from which institution he obtained his PhD in Engineering, with a focus on Static and Dynamic Analysis of Structures. He also currently serves as Professor of Structural Analysis at the School of Corps of Engineers of the Hellenic Army. He is the author of numerous journal articles, conference papers, and book contributions on the boundary element method and the editor of several conference proceedings. He has served as reviewer and/or editorial board member for a number of international engineering journals. His research focuses on: Linear and Nonlinear Theory of Elasticity; Generalized Beam Theory; Elastic Stability of structures (beams, plates); Static and Dynamic Analysis of Framed and Shell Structures by Numerical Methods - Finite Differences, Finite Elements, Boundary Integral Equations, Boundary Elements; Nonlinear Inelastic Analysis of Structures (Beams, Plates); Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Bars. Postbuckling Equilibrium Path; Modeling for the Static and Dynamic Analysis of Multi-Storey Buildings, Bridges and Large-Scale Civil Engineering Structures; Creep and Shrinkage Effects in Concrete Structures; Precast Elements in Structures with Different Time of Casting; and Static and Dynamic Analysis of Composite Structures.
