From the reviews:
“This monograph presents a state-of-the-art report on the theory and application of dynamic and transient infinite elements … . The book is attractive to a broad readership for it introduces the theoretical foundations needed in the description of dynamic infinite and transient elements in a … self-consistent manner. … is illustrated by a large number of conceptual figures and plots showing results from numerical simulations. In the theory-chapters, sufficient detail is given to able to follow the derivation of the mathematical concepts … .” (Nina Kirchner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1180, 2010)

Provides a state-of-the-art theory and the application of dynamic and transient infinite elements for simulating the far fields of infinite domains involved in many scientific problems
