This paper presents a Galerkin boundary element method for solving crack problems governed by potential theory in nonhomogeneous media. In the simple boundary element method, the nonhomogeneous problem is reduced to a homogeneous problem using variable transformation. Cracks in heat conduction problem in functionally graded materials are investigated. The thermal conductivity varies parabolically in one or more coordinates. A three dimensional boundary element implementation using the Galerkin approach is presented. A numerical example demonstrates the eáciency of the method. The result of the test example is in agreement with ßnite element simulation results.

The article presents two elements associated with the practice of application of the boundary element method. The first is associated with BEM ability to analyze an open boundary objects and application of infinite boundary elements in the area of mammography. The second element is associated with the damped wall investigations. Wall humidity and moisture represents heterogeneous environment (Functionally Graded Materials) which has to be treated in a special way.
