Abstract This paper presents closed form analytical formulae for the elementary integrals required in the numerical evaluation of weakly singular boundary integrals involving logarithmic singularity using the subtraction of singularity method. Results are limited to curved quadratic elements in view of their practical usefulness in modeling complex boundaries. Continuous as well as discontinuous elements have been considered. Sample numerical results obtained using these formulae together with a hybrid subtraction of singularity–nonlinear transformation method have been included to demonstrate the usefulness of these formulae. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Accurate evaluation of singular boundary integrals is very important in the boundary element analysis, since these contribute to the dominant (diagonal and near diagonal) terms of the global boundary element matrices. Various techniques have been suggested for evaluation of these integrals. These include analytical evaluation methods (mostly limited to straight line or planar elements) [1], specialized quadrature formulae [2], recursive subdivision [3], subtraction of singularity [4] and nonlinear coordinate transformations [5]. A brief review and related bibliography of these methods can be found in Singh and Tanaka [6]. Of the preceding techniques, the subtraction of singularity method (SSM) is very general and can be used in conjunction with nonlinear transformation methods for near-exact evaluation of weakly singular integrals [6]. This composite scheme based on the SSM and nonlinear transformation would be referred to as the singularity subtraction plus nonlinear transformation (SSNT) method herein. The SSM requires analytical evaluation of a few Corresponding author. Tel.: +81 26 269 5120; fax: +81 26 269 5124.

simple singular integrals. The aim of the present paper is to provide a collection of analytical formulae for these elementary integrals required in the numerical evaluation of boundary integrals involving logarithmic singularity. We focus on curved quadratic elements in view of their widespread use in modeling complex boundaries. Results are presented for continuous isoparametric elements as well as discontinuous elements—the latter being especially useful in modeling geometric (corners) and physical (change in boundary conditions) singularities. We have not considered linear or straight-line elements since analytical formulae are already available in the literature, which would be preferred over the SSM. All the formulae have been obtained using Maple V [7] and double-checked using hand derivations. We have further checked the results obtained with these formulae by comparing them with high-precision numerical integration in Maple V. The analytical formulae presented here are rather simple, and can be easily derived. The sole objective of putting these together is to make them easily available to the users/ researchers, so that they would not have to spend time rederiving these formulae. We also hope that availability of these formulae for various types of quadratic elements would encourage the use of near-exact integration of the

weakly singular integrals using the composite SSNT scheme. We start with a brief outline of SSM (and the related hybrid scheme) for singular boundary integrals and description of the elements of different type and their shape functions. Elementary integrals required in the SSM are presented for each type of element for various possible combinations of location of the singular point and nodal shape functions. We conclude the paper with sample numerical results obtained using these formulae in conjunction with the hybrid method for weakly singular integrals for potential problem. 2. SSM for weakly singular integrals Weakly singular integrals appearing in the boundary element analysis can be expressed as Z Iðx0 ; kÞ ¼ fk ðxÞ u ðx0 ; xÞ dGðxÞ, (1) Ge

where Ge represents the integration element, u is the fundamental solution of the problem, x0 is the collocation point and fk denotes the shape function associated with the kth local node of the element. Owing to the nature of the fundamental solution u , the preceding integral becomes singular when x0 2 Ge . For 2-D problems, u normally involves a logarithmic singularity. Hence, the integral I is weakly singular. This weakly singular integral can be re-written in terms of the normalized local coordinates as Z 1 0 Iðx ; kÞ ¼ f ðZ; Zs Þ dZ; f ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ fk ðZÞ u ðx0 ; xÞJðZÞ, 1

(2)

To obtain a smoother integrand for more efficient evaluation of I r , we can use a nonlinear transformation ZðgÞ: g 2 ½1; 1 ! Z 2 ½1; 1, and thus evaluate it as Z 1 I r ðx0 ; kÞ ¼ f r ðZðgÞ; Zs ÞJ g ðgÞ dg 1

where NG denotes the order of Gaussian quadrature, and gi and wi denote the ith quadrature point and associated weight, respectively. This combined scheme is termed as the SSNT method. For 2-D problems involving logarithmic singularity, us ðx0 ; xÞ ¼ ln r. To obtain a simple form for f s ðZ; Zs Þ, we can use the following Taylor series expansion of r around Zs : r ¼ r~ þ OððZ  Zs Þ2 Þ;

r~ ¼ JðZs ÞjZ  Zs j.

(6)

Now, the following two simple choices are possible for f s ðZ; Zs Þ: f s ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ fk ðZs ÞJðZs Þ ln r~ and f s ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ fk ðZÞJðZs Þ ln r~.

(i) LOGA: (ii) LOGB:

Since fk ðZs Þ and JðZs Þ would be constant for a particular singular point, therefore, the only elementary integral involved with the choice LOGA would be Z 1 ln jZ  Zs j dZ 1 8 2 lnð2Þ  2 if jZs j ¼ 1; > > < ð7Þ ¼ ð1  Zs Þ lnð1  Zs Þ > > : þðZ þ 1Þ lnðZ þ 1Þ  2 if Z 2 ð1; 1Þ: s

where Zs ¼ Zðx Þ and JðZÞ is the Jacobian of the transformation xðZÞ. The integrand f ðZ; Zs Þ is singular at the point Zs 2 ½1; 1. Let us suppose that the kernel u ðx0 ; xÞ exhibits the singularity typical of the singular function us ðx0 ; xÞ as x ! x0 . For Zs 2 ½1; 1, let us define f s ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ pðZ; Zs Þ us ðx0 ; xÞ, in which pðZ; Zs Þ is a regular function, and f r ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ f ðZ; Zs Þ  f s ðZ; Zs Þ. Further, let us assume that f s ðZ; Zs Þ is such that limZ!Zs f r ðZ; Zs Þ ¼ 0 (or C), where C is a bounded constant. Then, the function f r ðZ; Zs Þ is regular. We can now write the integral I as Iðx0 ; kÞ ¼ I r ðx0 ; kÞ þ I s ðx0 ; kÞ,

3. Elementary integrals for quadratic elements Quadratic elements are very often used to model problems with curvilinear geometry. For these elements, both the geometry and the boundary quantities are approximated by second degree polynomials in the local or intrinsic coordinate Z. Thus, variation of a function f

Generally the three geometric nodes of an element are used as collocation points. Such an element is referred to as a continuous quadratic element. To model the corner points or the points where there is a change in the boundary conditions, one sided discontinuous elements (commonly referred to as the partially discontinuous elements) are used. These elements can be of two types depending on which extreme collocation point has been moved inside the element to model the geometric or physical singularity. If it is the third collocation node which has been moved inside, then the resulting element is referred to as the partially discontinuous element of Type 1. Otherwise, if the first node is moved inside, then the element is called the partially discontinuous element of Type 2. One may opt for moving both extreme nodes inside which results in a discontinuous element. In the graphical representation of these elements, we have used a  for a geometric node and a  for a collocation node.

Commonly used values of Z1 are 23 or 12. Geometry of the element can still be modelled using the coordinates of the geometric nodes and shape functions for the continuous elements given by Eq. (14). However, the variation of a problem variable is modeled using the following shape functions: ZðZ  Z1 Þ , 1 þ Z1 ðZ þ 1ÞðZ  Z1 Þ P f2 1 ðZÞ ¼  , Z1 ZðZ þ 1Þ P , f3 1 ðZÞ ¼ Z1 ð1 þ Z1 Þ P

We have presented closed form analytical formulae for the elementary integrals required in the numerical evaluation of weakly singular boundary integrals involving logarithmic singularity using the subtraction of singularity method. Results have been presented for continuous, partially discontinuous and discontinuous quadratic elements. Sample numerical results obtained with a hybrid subtraction of singularity–nonlinear transformation method clearly demonstrate the usefulness of these formulae.

The ‘‘exact values’’ of the integrals correspond to the numerical values obtained with Maple V [7] using precision of 25 digits, and truncated to 16 digits in double precision computations. Errors in the numerical evaluation of the weakly singular integral I L ðxi ; kÞ obtained with the choices LOGA and LOGB are presented in Tables 5 and 6, respectively, for continuous as well as partial continuous elements. Accuracy of results is evident. Near-exact results are obtained with 32 Gauss points for any element type.
