Abstract: The paper presents how the higher order singularity of a boundary integral equation can be reduced. The approach will be discussed in some detail with the plane elasticity. Numerical results for the meshes of unequal length boundary elements are reported. Higher precision both for deflection and force is obtained than that for general boundary element method.The paper presents how the higher order singularity of a boundary integral equation can be reduced.
