Evaluation of gradients on the boundary using fully regularized hypersingular boundary integral equations (Q1304116)

An elegant way of calculation of gradients on the boundary of a body is presented. It starts from the hypersingular boundary integrals regularized by using simple solutions or modes. The method is currently limited to the calculation of gradients at regular points on the boundary at which the gradients of primary variables are continuous. The iterative scheme developed in the paper is shown to be extremely robust for the calculations of the gradients. The method is tested on two Laplace problems and two problems in linear elasticity.
