| Abstract: | The boundary-type finite element method has been investigated and applied to the Helmholz and mild-slope equations. Four types of interpolation function are examined based on trigonometric function series. Three-node triangular, four-node quadrilateral, six-node triangular and eight-node quadrilateral elements are tested; these are all non-conforming elements. Three types of numerical example show that the three-node triangular and four-node quadrilateral elements are useful for practical analysis. |
