This paper builds upon the results of a recent study which illustrates how the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) can be used to accelerate the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for arbitrary shapes. In the present work, we further deepen this understanding and focus especially on implementation details in order to calculate the boundary integrals with the FFT. Different numerical techniques are compared for an exemplary shape. Also, additions to the concept are mentioned such as the introduction of a high-resolution grid close to the boundary and a low-resolution grid farther away.

The optimization procedure with the greatest power of convergence is the full-matrix method. This method has not been utilized to a great extent in macromolecular refinement because of the great cost of both calculating and inverting the `normal' matrix. This paper describes an algorithm that can calculate this matrix in a relatively short amount of computer time. The procedure requires two Fourier transforms, which can be performed with the fast-Fourier transformation (FFT) algorithm, as well as a large number of simple function products.

In this paper, a new and simple boundary element method without internal cells is presented for the analysis of elastoplastic problems, based on an effective transformation technique from domain integrals to boundary integrals. The strong singularities appearing in internal stress integral equations are removed by transforming the domain integrals to the boundary. Other weakly singular domain integrals are transformed to the boundary by approximating the initial stresses with radial basis functions combined with polynomials in global coordinates. Three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

A fast method for calculating sound radiation/reflection directivities at high resolution in the infinite far field is proposed with the use of the fast multipole boundary element method (FMBEM). This method calculates directivities using direction-dependent coefficients called outgoing coefficients, which are obtained in the calculation process of the matrix-vector products in the FMBEM. Since the outgoing coefficients are generally calculated for a large number of directions high-resolution directivities can be easily obtained with extremely small computational cost and minor modifications in the FMBEM program codes. It is confirmed via comparison with the numerical results using the conventional method that the proposed method can calculate directivities at infinity. Numerical results also show that the computational time for the proposed method is significantly shorter than that for the conventional method with no addition of the required memory.

The traditional Boundary Element Method (BEM)  is a collection of numerical techniques for solving some partial differential equations. The classical BEM produces a fully populated coefficients matrix. With Galerkin Boundary Element Method (GBEM) is possible to produce a symmetric coefficients matrix. The Fourier BEM is a more general numerical approach. To calculate the final matrix coefficients it is necessary to find the improper integrals.  The article presents the method for calculation of such integrals.
