This paper investigates properties of integral operators in complex variable boundary integral equation in plane elasticity, which is derived from the Somigliana identity in the complex variable form. The generalized Sokhotski-Plemelj's formulae are used to obtain the BIE in complex variable. The properties of some integral operators in the interior problem are studied in detail. The Neumann and Dirichlet problems are analyzed. The prior condition for solution is studied. The solvability of the formulated problems is addressed. Similar analysis is carried out for the exterior problem. It is found that the properties of some integral operators in the exterior boundary value problem (BVP) are quite different from their counterparts in the interior BVP.

We present the boundary value problem (BVP) for the heave motion due to a vertical circular cylinder in water of finite depth. The BVP is presented in terms of velocity potential function. The velocity potential is obtained by considering two regions, namely, interior region and exterior region. The solutions for these two regions are obtained by the method of separation of variables. The analytical expressions for the hydrodynamic coefficients are derived. Computational results are presented for various depth to radius and draft to radius ratios.

The aim of this paper is to remove the rigid body motion in the interior boundary value problem (BVP) of plane elasticity by solving the interior and exterior BVPs simultaneously. First, we formulate the interior and exterior BVPs simultaneously. The tractions applied on the contour in two problems are the same. After adding and subtracting the two boundary integral equations (BIEs), we will obtain a couple of BIEs. In the coupled BIEs, the properties of relevant integral operators are modified, and those integral operators are generally invertible. Finally, a unique solution for boundary displacement of interior region can be obtained.
