Implementation of weight functions using Boundary Element Method for electromagnetic field and elastic mechanics applications, featuring algorithm explanations and code optimization strategies

Detailed Documentation

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a numerical technique commonly applied to solve problems in electromagnetic fields and elastic mechanics, with weight functions serving as its core component. The code implementation of weight functions plays a critical role in determining both the accuracy and computational efficiency of the method. In BEM implementations, weight functions are typically selected as basis functions, where the solution to the problem is obtained by solving for their coefficients through numerical integration techniques. The implementation often involves Gaussian quadrature for singular integrals and proper handling of boundary conditions. Therefore, developing efficient and accurate weight function code is essential for successful application of the Boundary Element Method. Key programming considerations include optimizing matrix assembly algorithms, implementing appropriate singularity treatment methods, and ensuring numerical stability through proper discretization strategies.
