Abstract

This paper investigates the degenerate scale problem for plane elasticity in a multiply connected region with an outer elliptic boundary. Inside the elliptic boundary, there are many voids with arbitrary configurations. The problem is studied on the relevant homogenous boundary integral equation. The suggested solution is derived from a solution of a relevant problem. It is found that the degenerate scale and the non-trivial solution along the elliptic boundary in the problem are same as in the case of a single elliptic contour without voids. The present study mainly depends on integrations of several integrals, which can be integrated in a closed form.
