The variable coefficients equation is firstly transformed into a constant coefficients equation for which a boundary integral equation can be formulated. A boundary element method (BEM) is then derived from the boundary integral equation. Some problems are considered. The numerical solutions justify the validity of the analysis used to derive the boundary element method with accurate and consistent solutions. A FORTRAN script is developed for the computation of the solutions. The computation shows that the BEM procedure elapses very efficient time in producing the solutions. In addition, results obtained from the considered examples show the effect of the anisotropy of the media on the solutions. An example of a layered material is presented as an illustration of the application. ## Keywords - Boundary element method - Mathematical analysis - Boundary value problem - Mathematics - Computation - Boundary (topology) - Singular boundary method - Flow (mathematics) - Boundary knot method - Anisotropy - Method of fundamental solutions - Finite element method - Geometry - Physics - Optics - Algorithm - Thermodynamics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
