ABSTRACT
The previous two chapters laid the foundation for the formulation of boundary element algebraic eigenvalue problem. In Chapter 7, we showed the basic idea of setting up the algebraic eigenproblem in boundary elements employing the Internal Cell Method (ICM). In Chapter 8, Dual Reciprocity Method (DRM) and Particular Integral Method (PIM) were developed by extending the ICM. Unlike in ICM, the power of DRM and PIM lies in the fact that the discretization remains confined to the boundary only without the need for breaking up the domain into internal cells.
