Abstract
Interpolation to boundary data and one-dimensional Overhauser parabola blending methods are used to derive Overhauser triangular elements. T he elements are C-1-continuous at inter-element nodes and no functiona l derivatives are required as nodal parameters. These efficient parame tric representation elements are used to solve three-dimensional poten tial problems using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). Results obtaine d are generally as accurate as those obtained using Overhauser quadril ateral elements.
