Abstract The accurate evaluation of nearly singular integrals is one of the major concerned problems in the boundary element method (BEM). Although the current methods have achieved great progress, it is often possible only for problems defined in the simplest geometrical domains when the nearly singular integrals need to be calculated. However, engineering processes occur mostly in complex geometrical domains, and always, involve nonlinearities of the unknown variables and its derivatives. Therefore, effective methods of dealing with nearly singular integrals for such practical problems are necessary and need to be further investigated. In this paper, a More >
