The BVP under consideration has applications in a wide range of engineering problems of practical interest, such as in the calculation of antiplane stresses or temperature in non-homogeneous anisotropic media. The proposed numerical method is applied to solve specific test problems.enElliptic partial differential equationAnisotropic non-homogeneous mediaBoundary element methodDual-reciprocity methodJournal article002003181110.1016/S0955-7997(02)00109-10001804415000052-s2.0-003721290457941
