A comparison of numerical collocation and variational procedures to the hypersingular acoustic integral operator (Q686926): Difference between revisions

The authors present comparative applications of the collocation boundary element method and the variational method to the solution of the three- dimensional thin shell acoustic problem. In the boundary integral formulation of this problem a hypersingular integral operator appears that makes the implementation of the collocation method difficult. The authors propose their new way how to overcome these difficulties to still achieve accurate numerical results.
