## Abstract A new transformation technique is introduced for evaluating the twoβdimensional nearly singular integrals, which arise in the solution of Laplace's equation in three dimensions, using the boundary element method, when the source point is very close to the element of integration. The int

Accurate numerical integration of line integrals is of fundamental importance to reliable implementation of the boundary element method. Usually, the regular integrals arising from a boundary element method implementation are evaluated using standard Gaussian quadrature. However, the singular integr
The paper concentrates on the numerical evaluation of nearly singular kernel integrals commonly encountered in boundary element analysis. Limitations of the method developed recently by Huang and Cruse (1993) for the direct evaluation of nearly singular kernel integrals are analysed and pointed out.
The e cient numerical evaluation of integrals arising in the boundary element method is of considerable practical importance. The superiority of the use of sigmoidal and semi-sigmoidal transformations together with Gauss-Legendre quadrature in this context has already been well-demonstrated numerica
## Abstract The question of the accurate numerical evaluation of weakly singular integrals arising in the boundary element method has attracted considerable recent attention. A popular method is to use a nonβlinear transformation with zero derivative at the singular point to adjust the position of
