Title: | Use of constant, linear and quadratic boundary elements in 3D wave diffraction analysis | Authors: | Tadeu, A. António, J. |
Keywords: | Boundary elements; Constant; Linear and quadratic elements; Wave propagation | Issue Date: | 2000 | Citation: | Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements. 24:2 (2000) 131-144 | Abstract: | The performance of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) depends on the size of the elements and the interpolation function used. However, improvements in accuracy and efficiency obtained with both expansion and grid refinement increases demand on the computational effort. This paper evaluates the performance of constant, linear and quadratic elements in the analysis of the three-dimensional scattering caused by a cylindrical cavity buried in an infinite homogeneous elastic medium subjected to a point load. A circular cylindrical cavity for which analytical solutions are known is used in the simulation analysis. First, the dominant BEM errors are identified in the frequency domain and related to the natural vibration modes of the inclusion. Comparisons of BEM errors are then made for different types of boundary elements, maintaining similar computational costs. Finally, the accuracy of the BEM solution is evaluated when the nodal points are moved inside linear and quadratic discontinuous elements. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4044 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0955-7997(99)00064-8 | Rights: | openAccess |
