Abstract
The need for time-harmonic acoustic analysis in unbounded
domains is frequent in engineering practice. Such
problems are unacceptable for direct numerical computation.
Therefore various techniques for representing an
unbounded domain are developed. In this work an infinite
element technique is developed based on an analytical solution
inside the element and variational enforcement of
continuity on element boundaries. Using this approach
two-dimensional infinite elements are developed and their
performance is tested on various problems. Spectral analysis
of the finite element method is performed, and errors
of finite element solutions are evaluated.
