    1) When calculating the perpendicular distance (h) from a circle's center of curvature (C) to a line segment, it is necessary to check if h^2 is positive to ensure the segment does not exceed the circle's diameter. 2) If h^2 equals 0, the segment is a semicircle with the center at the midpoint, which commonly occurs in applications. 3) Due to floating point imprecision, the program checks if h^2 is less than 10^-6 times the radius squared to treat it as a semicircle.

    Boundary Element Methods for Engineers:

    Part I: Potential Problems

    Constant Boundary Element Program for Potential Problems

    If the centre of curvature is C, at (c , c ) or (XCENT, YCENT), and the length of the perpendicular
    from C to the line A1A2 at M is (ALPERP) then
    2

    2 = 2 (3.8)
    2

    Before taking the square root to find , it is necessary to test that the expression for 2 (ALPERP2) is
    either positive or zero. A negative value would imply that the distance apart of the end points exceeds
    twice the radius of curvature: either the points are too far apart or the radius of curvature is too small. It
    is then not possible to create a circular arc. The particular case of 2 = 0 deserves some care, because it
    corresponds to the case of centre C at point M, giving a semi-circular segment, which can often occur in
    practice. Because floating point arithmetic cannot be carried out with perfect precision, the test applied
    in the program is 2 < 106 2 . If satisfied, 2 is assumed to be zero and the segment is treated as a
    semi circle. The program does not accommodate circular arc segments whose subtended angles exceed
    180 , because more information would be required to detect them. An attempt to enter data for such a

    segment would result in a segment with an angle less than 180 , which could be identified by inspecting
    the mesh data output.
