Summary
A Cauchy type singular integral equation along a finite real interval and with a weight function with complex singularities at the end-points of the integration interval can be numerically solved by reduction to a system of linear equations, by using an appropriate numerical integration rule associated with the Jacobi polynomials, in exactly the same way used for the case of real singularities. For the numerical solution of such an equation arising in plane elasticity crack problems and the evaluation of stress intensity factors at crack tips, the Lobatto-Jacobi numerical integration rule is the most appropriate.
Résumé
Une équation intégrale du type de Cauchy singulière le long d'un intervalle fini réel et avec une fonction pondérante ayant des singularités complexes aux extremités de l'intervalle d'intégration peut être résolue numériquement par réduction à un système d'équations linéaires, en utilisant une règle appropriée d'intégration numérique associée aux polynômes de Jacobi, exactement de la même manière que dans le cas des singularités réelles. La façon la plus appropriée de trouver la solution numérique de cette équation telle qu'elle se présente dans les problèmes de fissure en élasticité plane et d'évaluer les facteurs de contrainte aux extremités da la fissure est la méthode d'intégration numérique de Lobatto-Jacobi.
