Numerical solution for the degenerate scale problem in plane elasticity using null field CVBIE

This paper provides a numerical solution for the degenerate scale problem in plane elasticity using the null field complex variable boundary integral equation (CVBIE). After performing the coordinate transformation, the CVBIE can be formulated in the normal scale. After making discretization, a linear algebraic equation is obtained. The influence matrix in the normal scale is invertible. By introducing two basic solutions, the degenerate scale problem is finally solved. Several numerical examples are given.
