Abstract
AbstractA broad class of engineering problems in fracture mechanics, thermal/fluid transport and electromagnetic theory involve the evaluation of two‐dimensional finite part integrals of the form equation image A method for evaluation of such integrals is developed by deriving an equivalent integral using Fourier transformation. This equivalent integral does not involve a kernel with singular behaviour. Consequently, standard numerical integration methodologies with conventional analytical evaluation techniques can be used in the finite element computations. The accuracy and convergence of the developed numerical procedure are successfully demonstrated by numerical examples for planar fracture geometries.
