โฆ Synopsis
The original ideas of Overhauser are extended to create a new type of element for boundary element analysis. Three Lagrange interpolation polynomials are blended together in a quadratic fashion, resulting in a set of seven basis functions which are C' continuous from element to element. Solutions to Laplace's equation in a simple geometry are used to demonstrate the accuracy of the solutions obtained with the new elements, for both smooth and rapidly varying solutions. These new elements also provide more accurate values for the tangential derivative of the solution at all points on the boundary.

Interpolation to boundary data and one-dimensional Overhauser parabola blending methods are used to derive Overhauser triangular elements. The elements are C'-continuous at inter-element nodes and no functional derivatives are required as nodal parameters. These efficient parametric representation e
Overhauser's original idea of linearly blending two sets of quadratic C 0 -continuous basis functions to produce a set of C 1 -continuous basis functions is employed by linearly blending two sets of quadratic C 1 -continuous basis functions. The result is a set of eight basis functions which are C 2
