A new technique is developed to evaluate the Cauchy principal value integrals and weakly singular integrals involved in the boundary integral equations. The boundary element method is then applied to analyse scattering of waves by cracks in a laminated composite plate. The Green's functions are obta

✦ Synopsis
The mathematical foundations of the application of non-linear transformations to the numerical integration of weakly singular and Cauchy Principal Value (CPV) integrals are revised in this paper. This approach was firstly introduced to compute the singular kernels appearing in the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for 2-D (two-dimensional) problems. Here, the mathematical requirements for a consistent application of these methods both for the 2-D and 3-D cases and both for collocation points located in the interior of a typical boundary element and located on its boundary are established. From them, it is shown why some of the transformations proposed in previous papers work while others do not, and also why some of the latter ones work only for the particular examples presented in those papers. Finally, some non-linear transformations for 2-D and 3-D problems that fulfill the mentioned mathematical requirements are here introduced, including a complete numerical study of their accuracy.

Recently a bicubic transformation was introduced to numerically compute the Cauchy principal value (CPV) integrals. Numerical results show that this new method converges faster than the conventional Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule when the integrand contains different types of singularity. Assume is
