An exact expression is derived for the general finite-part integral f a r -3 f dR over an inclined elliptical domain R. r denotes the distance of a point in R to the singular point (x, y).f= x b y i ,/Z(xo, yo) is a general function of the Cartesian co-ordinates xo,yo. The boundary of the region R represents the equation Z ( x o , y o ) = 0. These integrals appear during the numerical solution of plane crack problems in threedimensional elasticity where they are the dominant part of a hypersingular integral equation. The availability of exact expressions for the integrals with arbitrary integers i and j will increase the accuracy of the numerical results and, simultaneously, lead to quicker numerical results. The considered finite-part integral can be expressed in closed form as function of complete elliptical integrals or Gauss hypergeometric functions, respectively. Formulas for special cases and some i, j values and their numerical verification are given in Appendices I1 and 111. a/b 1 1 O.llOD+Ol 0.220D+Ol 0.3OOD+OO 0.400D+00 0.000D+00 0,50OD+00 Eq.
