Abstract

This paper investigates the degenerate scale problem for the Laplace equation and plane elasticity in a multiply connected region with an outer circular boundary. Inside the boundary, there are many voids with arbitrary configurations. The problem is analyzed with a relevant homogenous BIE (boundary integral equation). It is assumed that all the inner void boundary tractions are equal to zero, and tractions on the outer circular boundary are constant. Therefore, all the integrations in BIE are performed on the outer circular boundary only. By using the relation z * conjg( z) = a * a, or conjg( z) = a * a/ z on the circular boundary with radius a, all integrals can be reduced to an integral for complex variable and they can be integrated in closed form. The degenerate scale a = 1 is found in the Laplace equation and in plane elasticity regardless of the void configuration.
