A new nonsingular system of boundary integral equations (BIEs) of the second kind for two-dimensional isotropic elasticity is deduced following a recently introduced procedure by Wu (J. Appl. Mech., 67, pp. 618–621, 2000) originally applied for anisotropic elasticity. The physical interpretation of the new integral kernels appearing in these BIEs is studied. An advantageous application of one of these BIEs as a boundary integral representation (BIR) of tangential derivative of boundary displacements on smooth parts of the boundary, and subsequently as a BIR of the in-boundary stress, is presented and analyzed in numerical examples. An equivalent BIR obtained by an integration by parts of the integral including tangential derivative of displacements in the former BIR is presented and analyzed as well. The resulting integral is only apparently hypersingular, being in fact a regular integral on smooth parts of the boundary.

Nonsingular boundary integral equations for two-dimensional anisotropic elasticity problems are developed. The integral equations can be solved numerically by Gaussian quadratures. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the integral equations. [S0021-8936(00)00303-2]

An elliptical crack subjected to coupled phonon–phason loadings in a three-dimensional body of two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals is analytically investigated. Owing to the existence of the crack, the phonon and phason displacements are discontinuous along the crack face. The phonon and phason displacement discontinuities serve as the unknown variables in the generalized potential function method which are used to derive the boundary integral equations. These boundary integral equations governing Mode I, II, and III crack problems in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals are expressed in integral differential form and hypersingular integral form, respectively. Closed-form exact solutions to the elliptical crack problems are first derived for two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals. The corresponding fracture parameters, including displacement discontinuities along the crack face and stress intensity factors, are presented considering all three crack cases of Modes I, II, and III. Analytical solutions for a penny-shaped crack, as a special case of the elliptical problem, are given. The obtained analytical solutions are graphically presented and numerically verified by the extended displacement discontinuities boundary element method.

In this paper we solve several boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation on polygonal domains. We observe that when the problems are formulated as the boundary integral equations of potential theory, the solutions are representable by series of appropriately chosen Bessel functions. In addition to being analytically perspicuous, the resulting expressions lend themselves to the construction of accurate and efficient numerical algorithms. The results are illustrated by a number of numerical examples.
