Abstract

Several global shape functions are introduced to interpolate the body-force term in the dual-reciprocity boundary-element method. These global-interpolation functions, which include polynomial, trigonometric, and hyperbolic series, can be used in place of the locally based radial shape function. For the several examples presented, the global functions have demonstrated superior convergence properties.
