Abstract: |
A general and efficient method for numerically evaluating singular integrals of various orders in boundary element method (BEM) is presented in this paper.The method is based on Taylor expansions of the integrands in polar coordinate system.Since the singular terms are extracted numerically rather than analytically as in existing methods,the present method is capable of treating various orders of singularities in a general form,independent on the explicit expressions of integrands.Nearly singularities caused by the large aspect ratio of the physical elements and the closeness of the singular points to the element boundary are circumvented by a conformal transformation and a sigmoidal transformation,respectively.Numerical results show that our method could maintain high accuracy with few quadrature points regardless the shape of the element being distorted or not.Performance of this method is further verified by incorporating into a Nyström BEM to solve elastodynamic problems.Our method is implemented in C language and is freely available. |
