An interpolating boundary element-free method for three-dimensional potential problems

An adaptive fast multipole boundary element method for three-dimensional potential problems

An adaptive fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM) for general three-dimensional (3-D) potential problems is presented in this paper. This adaptive FMBEM uses an adaptive tree structure that can balance the multipole to local translations (M2L) and the direct evaluations of the near-field integrals, and thus can reduce the number of the more costly direct evaluations. Furthermore, the c...

An element-free Galerkin method for three-dimensional fracture mechanics

The application of a coupled ®nite element± element-free Galerkin (EFG) method to problems in threedimensional fracture is presented. The EFG method is based on moving least square (MLS) approximations and uses only a set of nodal points and a CAD-like description of the body to formulate the discrete model. The EFG method is coupled with the ®nite element method which allows for the use of the...
