β¦ Synopsis
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 obtained in discrete form through the thickness of the plate using a stiffness method. To circumvent the difficulties associated with the evaluation of hypersingular integrals due to the presence of cracks, the multidomain technique is applied. Numerical computations have shown the accuracy and reliability of the proposed technique. Scattered wave fields for a composite plate with a horizontal crack are computed. The numerical results show that the applications of the technique in non-destructive evaluation of defects is very promising.

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
The paper deals with numerical integrations of singular integrals in BEMs. It is shown that from the point of view of numerical integrations, the only serious problem which can arise is due to weakly singular and nearly singular integrals. We pay attention to the study of numerical integrations of n
## Abstract In the recent works (__Commun. Numer. Meth. Engng__ 2001; **17**: 881; to appear), the superiority of the nonβlinear transformations containing a real parameter __b__ β 0 has been demonstrated in numerical evaluation of weakly singular integrals. Based on these transformations, we defin
