The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method Lecture A
Boundary discretisation only
Reducing the spatial dimension by one
3-D problems become 2-D, and 2-D become 1-D
Requires fundamental solution, is usually complicated, exhibits singularities
Shape functions for each boundary element for displacement and tractions
Resulting equations are fully populated and non-symmetric
Not well suited for inhomogeneous and isotropic material
The conditions at infinity are satisfied rigorously
