Abstract :
This paper presents a new application of the boundary-element method to analysis of coupled electric and thermal field problems in conducting bodies. A nonlinear dependence of electrical and thermal conductivities on temperature and potential is taken into account. This approach is based on Kirchhoff´s transformation and numerical integration of domain terms
