Subtraction singularity technique applied to the regularization of singular and hypersingular integrals in high-order curved boundary elements in plane anisotropic elasticity. (English) Zbl 1464.74254

Summary: The numerical solutions of boundary integral equations by the Boundary Element Method (BEM) have been applied in several areas of computational engineering and science such as elasticity and fracture mechanics. The BEM formulations often require the evaluation of complex singular and hypersingular integrals. Therefore, BEM requires special integration schemes for singular elements. The Subtraction Singularity Technique (SST) is a general procedure for evaluating such integrals, which allows for the integral over high-order curved boundary elements. The SST regularises these kernels through the Taylor expansion of the integral kernels around the source point. This study presents the expressions from Taylor expansions, which are required for the regularization of singular and hypersingular boundary integral equations of plane linear anisotropic elasticity. These expressions have been implemented into an academic BEM code, which enables the integration over high-order straight and curved boundary elements. The proposed scheme leads to excellent performance. The results obtained by the proposed scheme are in excellent agreement with reference responses available in the literature.
