Abstract

This work aims at extending the concept of the Numerical Green's Function (NGF), known from boundary element applications to potential and fracture mechanics problems, to the Local Boundary Integral Equation (LBIE) context. As a "companion" solution, the NGF is used to remove the integrals of the main discontinuities over the crack boundary and is to be introduced only for source points whose support touches or contains the actual crack surfaces.
