Complex Variable Method of Mechanical Quadratures (CV-MMQ)

The complex variable method of mechanical quadratures is a popular method for solving complex variable singular equations. There is a vast literature on this method as applied to elasticity problems (see, e.g. Theocaris and Ioakimidis [1–4], loakimidis and Theocaris [1–5], Panasiuk, Savruk and Datsishin [1], Savruk [4], Savruk, Osiv and Prokopchuk [1], Grigoliuk and Filshtinski [2] and reviews in the last four monographs. The L’vov school of solid mechanics systematically employed this method. Since the results have been comprehensively presented in the cited monographs by Savruk, we will discuss only the essence of the method and the differences between it and the CV-BEM.
