The interpolating boundary element-free method (IBEFM) is a direct solution method of the meshless boundary integral equation method, which has high efficiency and accuracy. The IBEFM is developed based on the interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) method and the boundary integral equation method. Since the shape function of the IMLS method satisfies the interpolation characteristics, the IBEFM can directly and accurately impose the essential boundary conditions, which overcomes the shortcomings of the original boundary element-free method in enforcing the essential boundary approximately. This paper will study the error estimations of the IBEFM for two-dimensional potential problems and the relationship between the errors and the influence radius and the condition number of the coefficient matrix. Two numerical examples are presented to verify the correctness of the theoretical results in this paper.

The boundary element method (BEM) in current usage, is based on the displacement boundary integral equation. The current practice of computing stresses in the BEM involves the use of a two-tier approach: (i) numerical differentiation of the displacement field at the boundary, and (ii) analytical differentiation of the displacement integral equation at the source point in the interior. A new direct integral equation for the displacement gradient is proposed here, to obviate this two-tier approach. The new direct boundary integral equation for displacement gradients has a lower order singularity than in the standard formulation, and is quite tractable from a numerical view point. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the advantages of the present approach.

This paper is concerned with the application of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to interior acoustics problems governed by the reduced wave (Helmholtz) differential equation. The development of an integral equation valid at the boundary of the interior region follows a similar formulation for exterior problems, except for interior problems the Sommerfeld radiation condition is not invoked. The boundary integral equation for interior problems does not suffer from the nonuniqueness difficulty associated with the boundary integral equation formulation for exterior problems. The boundary integral equation, once obtained, is solved for a specific geometry using quadratic isoparametric surface elements. A simplification for axisymmetric cavities and boundary conditions permits the solution to be obtained using line elements on the generator of the cavity. The present formulation includes the case where a node may be placed at a position on the boundary where there is not a unique tangent plane (e.g., at an edge or a corner point). The BEM capability is demonstrated for two types of classical interior axisymmetric problems: the acoustic response of a cavity and the transmission loss of a muffler. For the cavity response comparison data are provided by an analytical solution. For the muffler problem the BEM solution is compared to data obtained by a finite element method analysis.

Problems of wave propagation in poroelastic bodies and media are considered. The behavior of the poroelastic medium is described by Biot theory for partially saturated material. Mathematical model is written in term of five basic functions – elastic skeleton displacements, pore water pressure and pore air pressure. Boundary element method (BEM) is used with step method of numerical inversion of Laplace transform to obtain the solution. Research is based on direct boundary integral equation of three-dimensional isotropic linear theory of poroelasticity. Green’s matrices and, based on it, boundary integral equations are written for basic differential equations in partial derivatives. Discrete analogue are obtained by applying the collocation method to a regularized boundary integral equation. To approximate the boundary consider its decomposition to a set of quadrangular and triangular 8-node biquadratic elements, where triangular elements are treated as singular quadrangular. Every element is mapped to a reference one. Interpolation nodes for boundary unknowns are a subset of geometrical boundary-element grid nodes. Local approximation follows the Goldshteyn’s generalized displacement-stress matched model: generalized boundary displacements are approximated by bilinear elements whereas generalized tractions are approximated by constant. Integrals in discretized boundary integral equations are calculated using Gaussian quadrature in combination with singularity decreasing and eliminating algorithms.

In this paper we study an efficient boundary element method for the determination of the acoustic field around arbitrary-shaped finite structures immersed in an infinite homogeneous acoustic medium. The direct boundary integral equation due to Burton and Miller is employed to overcome the nonuniqueness of solution associated with the classical boundary integral formulations of the exterior Helmholtz equation. The choice of the coupling parameter in the Burton and Miller formulation is discussed in order to minimize the condition number of the boundary integral equation. Numerical results are presented for the problem of acoustic radiation from several structures of practical interest.
