## Abstract Recently, Liu __et al__. proposed the smoothed finite element method by using the nonβmapped shape functions and then introducing the strain smoothing operator when evaluating the element stiffness in the framework of the finite element method. However, the theories and examples by Liu
The performance of three different stress recovery procedures, namely, the superconvergent patch recovery technique (SPR), the recovery by equilibrium in patches (REP) and a combined method known as the LP procedure is reviewed. Different order of polynomials and various patch formation strategies h
The efficiency and computational accuracy of the boundary element and finite element methods are compared in this paper. This comparison is carried out by employing different degrees of mesh refinement to solve a specific illustrative problem by the two methods.
