In this paper, we present a computational method for solving boundary integral equations with loga-rithmic singular kernels which occur as reformulations of a boundary value problem for the Laplacian equation. Themethod is based on the use of the Galerkin method with CAS wavelets constructed on the unit interval as basis.This approach utilizes the non-uniform Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule for ...

Abstract: The solution to problem of an orthotropic long cylinder subjected to torsional loading is first obtained by means of separation valuables. The cylinder is twisted by two lateral shear tractions and the ends of the cylinder surface of the cylinder are stress-free. First, the domain under consideration is weakened by an axisymmetric rotational Somigliana ring dislocation. The dislocatio...

A crack of arbitrary size and orientation near bimaterial interfaces between dissimilar thermopiezoelectric materials is considered . A system of singular integral equations for the unknown thermal analog of dislocation density defined on the crack faces is derived by way of the Stroh's formulation and the thermoelectroelastic Green's fUflctions developed recently. The stress and electric displ...

The weak-form of Helmholtz differential equation, in conjunction with vector test-functions (which are gradients of the fundamental solutions to the Helmholtz differential equation in free space) is utilized as the basis in order to directly derive non-hyper-singular boundary integral equations for the velocity potential, as well as its gradients. Thereby, the presently proposed boundary integr...

In this paper a certain class of singular integral equations that may arise from the mixed boundary value problems in nonhomogeneous materials is considered. The distinguishing feature of these equations is that in addition to the Cauchy singularity, the kernels contain terms that are singular only at the end points. In the form of the singular integral equations adopted,the density function is...

0 gi(t, s)[Pi(s, u1(s), u2(s), · · · , un(s)) + Qi(s, u1(s), u2(s), · · · , un(s))]ds, t ∈ [0, T ], 1 ≤ i ≤ n where T > 0 is fixed and the nonlinearities Pi(t, u1, u2, · · · , un) can be singular at t = 0 and uj = 0 where j ∈ {1, 2, · · · , n}. Criteria are offered for the existence of fixed-sign solutions (u∗1, u ∗ 2, · · · , u ∗ n) to the system of Volterra integral equations, i.e., θiu ∗ i (...

Based on the theory of elasticity, previous analytical solutions concerning a penny-shaped interface crack employ the derivative of the crack surface opening displacements as the primary unknowns, thus leading to singular integral equations with Cauchy-type singularity. The solutions to the resulting integral equations permit only the determination of stress intensity factors and energy release...
