A Comparative Study of Expansion Functions Using the Boundary Residual Method on a Linear Dipole - Part II: Sub-Domain FunctionsAbstract
The Boundary Residual Method is used to compare the performance of a range of sub-domain expansion functions in three different settings. It is found that as the complexity of the structure/system being studied increases the importance of the order of the expansion function decreases - at least for uniform excitation. These results point out the need for more research into the behaviour and performance of these, and other, expansion functions.
