we develop and apply the product integration method to a large class of linear weakly singular volterra systems. we show that under certain sufficient conditions this method converges. numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by a benchmark problem originated from heat conduction.

A model is provided for crack problem in a functionally graded semi-infinite plate under an anti-plane load. The characteristic of material behavior is assumed to change in a linear manner along the plate length. Also the embedded crack is placed in the direction of the material change. The problem is solved using two separate techniques. Primary, by applying Laplace and Fourier transformation,...

This paper concerns the integral equation

A hypersingular integral equation in two disjoint intervals is solved by using the solution of Cauchy type singular integral equation in disjoint intervals. Also a direct function theoretic method is used to determine the solution of the same hypersingular integral equation in two disjoint intervals. Solutions by both the methods are in good agreement with each other.

We prove an existence theorem for a singular quadratic integral equation with supremum. The quadratic integral equation studied below contains as a special case numerous integral equations encountered in the theory of radiative transfer and in the kinetic theory of gases. We show that the singular quadratic integral equations with supremum has a monotonic solution in C[0, 1]. The concept of mea...

We present a method to regularize first and second kind integral equations of Fredholm type with singular kernel. By appropriate application of the Poincaré-Bertrand formula we change such integral equations into a second kind Fredholm’s integral equation with at most weakly singular kernel. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 45Exx, 45E05, 45B05.

In this study, the existence and uniqueness of the solution of a class of nonlinear finite-part singular integral equations with Carleman shift preserving orientation has been investigated in the generalized Holder space () Γ ϕ H. 1. Introduction Many important problems of engineering mechanics like elasticity, plasticity, and fracture mechanics and aerodynamics can be reduced to the solution o...

Compact finite difference scheme is applied for a partial integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. The product trapezoidal method is applied for discretization of the integral term. The order of accuracy in space and time is , where . Stability and convergence in  norm are discussed through energy method. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical prediction ...

In this study, the contact problem of a layered composite which consists of two materials with different elastic constants and heights resting on two rigid flat supports with sharp edges is considered. The effect of gravity is neglected. While friction between the layers is taken into account, it is assumed that there is no friction between the supports and the layered composite so that only co...

In this article an isotropic linear elastic half-space with a cylindrical cavity of finite length is considered to be under the effect of a ring shape time-harmonic torsion force applied at an arbitrary depth on the surface of the cavity. The equation of equilibrium has been written in a cylindrical coordinate system. By means of Fourier cosine integral transform, the non-zero displacement comp...
