Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for two-dimensional Helmholtz problems (2013)
Journal Article

Isogeometric analysis is a topic of considerable interest in the field of numerical analysis. The boundary element method (BEM) requires only the bounding surface of geometries to be described; this makes non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS), which...
