## Abstract An analytical integration method for evaluating the singular integrals arising in the construction of symmetric boundary element models is proposed, referring to the analysis of Kirchhoff plates. Kernels involved in the symmetric boundary formulation of Kirchhoff plates exhibit singular

โฆ Synopsis
The paper studies the influence of singularities of Kirchhoff plates on a boundary element solution. The solution is split into a regular and singular part. An integral representation of the stress intensity factor allows to apply an iterative so-called dual singular function method to determine the leading singular term and therewith to improve the boundary element solution.

Vibration analysis of Kirchhoff plates is of great importance in many engineering fields. The semi-discrete and the fully discrete Morley element methods are proposed to solve such a problem, which are effective even when the region of interest is irregular. The rigorous error estimates in the energ
The typical Boundary Element Method (BEM) for fourth-order problems, like bending of thin elastic plates, is based on two coupled boundary integral equations, one strongly singular and the other hypersingular. In this paper all singular integrals are evaluated directly, extending a general method fo
