This paper provides a numerical solution for the degenerate scale for a rigid curve in antiplane elasticity. The degenerate scale problem for the rigid curve is formulated on the usage of the logarithmic potential. After assuming the displacement to be a vanishing value along the rigid curve, the boundary integral equation (BIE) is formulated. The problem can be first formulated in the degenerate scale. After making a coordinate transform, we can obtain the relevant BIE in the ordinary scale. Finally, a numerical solution is achieved. Several numerical examples are provided. In addition, the degenerate scale problem for the multiple rigid curves is also solved.
