Abstract:The extended boundary node method (X-BNM) with the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) shape function is proposed and its performance is numerically investigated by comparing with the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRM). The results of computations show that the accuracy of the X-BNM is almost equal to that of the DRM. In addition, the speed of the X-BNM with the RPIM shape function is almost equal to that of the DRM. Therefore, not only the DRM but also the X-BNM with the RPIM shape function i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
