Abstract
A method for deriving hexahedral finite elements with lumped mass matr ices for 3-D-problems is presented. These elements meet the theoretica l conditions for high order convergence, and two numerical examples ba sed on the 3-D scalar wave equation show that this is also the case in practice and that their accuracy is comparable to elements with consi stent mass matrices.
