• Resumen

  • In this article the hypersingular integrals that arise when boundary integral equation (BIE) methods are used to solve fracture mechanics problems are considered. An approach for hypersingular integral regularization is based on the theory of distribution and Green's theorems. This approach is applied for regularization of the hypersingular integrals over triangular boundary elements (BEs) for the case of piecewise-constant and piecewise-linear approximations. The hypersingular integrals are transformed into regular contour integrals that can be easily calculated analytically.
