Ten contributions discuss the proper theoretical and numerical treatment of singular integrals in Boundary Element Methods, which are often seen as a handicap, but are here presented as a potential source of effectiveness and stability in numerical solution. Both the boundary and domain integrals are considered in two and three dimensional boundary value problems, and the use of symbolic computation and the formulation using complex arithmetic in the case of plane problems are outlined. The formulations given deal with the potential problems, elasticity, plate and crack problems. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
