Boundary integral equation

The following integral equation holds for any point, A, inside the ``volume'' (area) V or on the ``surface'' (contour) S of the 2-D body, as shown in Figure 6.

  equation265

where tex2html_wrap_inline163 , tex2html_wrap_inline165 , tex2html_wrap_inline167 and tex2html_wrap_inline169 is [u] at point A. The matrix [c] is given as:

equation268

In the event A is a corner a more elaborate expression exists for [c] [8]. The body force volume integral in equation (17) can also be converted to a surface integral [8] and will be omitted for the rest of this paper.
