Synopsis

The present book deals with the finite-part singular integral equations, the multidimensional singular integral equations and the non-linear singular integral equations, which are currently used in many fields of engineering mechanics with applied character, like elasticity, plasticity, thermoelastoplasticity, viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, fracture mechanics, structural analysis, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics and elastodynamics. These types of singular integral equations form the latest high technology on the solution of very important problems of solid and fluid mechanics and therefore special attention should be given by the reader of the present book, who is interested for the new technology of the twentieth-one century. Chapter 1 is devoted with a historical report and an extended outline of References, for the finite-part singular integral equations, the multidimensional singular integral equations and the non-linear singular integral equations. Chapter 2 provides a finite-part singular integral representation analysis in Lp spaces and in general Hilbert spaces. In the same Chapter are investigated all possible approximation methods for the numerical evaluation of the finite-part singular integral equations, as closed form solutions for the above type of integral equations are available only in simple cases. Also, Chapter 2 provides further a generalization of the well known Sokhotski-Plemelj formulae and the Nother theorems, for the case of a finite-part singular integral equation.

Synopsis

The book includes the latest high technology on solving very important theoretical and practical problems on solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, structural analysis, elastodynamics, fluid mechanis and aerodynamics, by using linear and non-linear singular integral equation methods. Analytical theories and numerical evaluation methods are investigated and introduced for the finite-part singular integral equations, the multidimensional singular integral equations and the non-linear singular integral equations with a very important use in a wide field of engineering mechanics. The proposed Singular Interal Operator Method in many cases offers important advantages over "domain" type solutions, like finite elements and finite difference, as well as analytical methods, such as complex variable methods.
