The boundary node method has been reformulated without using any integration cells and its performance has been investigated by comparing with the dual reciprocal boundary element method (DRM). The results of computations show that the accuracy of the proposed method is superior to that of the DRM regardless of the number of a boundary node, a boundary condition and a boundary shape. In addition, when the number of boundary nodes exceeds a certain limit, the calculation speed of the proposed method becomes almost equal to that of the DRM.
