Abstract
To improve the accuracy of the standard finite element (FE) solutions for acoustic radiation computation, this work presents the coupling of a radial point interpolation method (RPIM) with the standard FEM based on triangular (T3) mesh to give a coupled “FE-Meshfree” Trig3-RPIM element for two-dimensional acoustic radiation problems. In this coupled Trig3-RPIM element, the local approximation (LA) is represented by the polynomial-radial basis functions and the partition of unity (PU) concept is satisfied using the standard FEM shape functions. Incorporating the present coupled Trig3-RPIM element with the appropriate non-reflecting boundary condition, the two-dimensional acoustic radiation problems in exterior unbounded domain can be successfully solved. The numerical results demonstrate that the present coupled Trig3-RPIM have significant superiorities over the standard FEM and can be regarded as a competitive numerical techniques for exterior acoustic computation.
