Abstract
In this paper, we establish that the Lagrangian-type material differentiation formulas, that allow to express the first-order derivative of a (regular) surface integral with respect to a geometrical domain perturbation, still hold true for the strongly singular and hypersingular surface integrals usually encountered in boundary integral formulations. As a consequence, this work supports previous investigations where shape sensitivities are computed using the so-called direct differentiation approach in connection with singular boundary integral equation formulations.
