Hypersingular integrals of the type $I_{\alpha}(T_n,m,r) = \int_{-1}^{1} \hpsngAbs \frac{T_n(s)(1-s^2)^{m-{1/2}}}{(s-r)^\alpha}ds |r|<1$ and $I_{\alpha}(U_n,m,r) = \int_{-1}^{1} \hpsngAbs \frac{U_n(s)(1-s^2)^{m-{1/2}}}{(s-r)^\alpha}ds |r|<1$ are investigated for general integers $\alpha$ (positive) and $m$ (non-negative), where $T_n(s)$ and $U_n(s)$ are the Tchebyshev polynomials of the 1st and 2nd kinds, respectively. Exact formulas are derived for the cases $\alpha = 1, 2, 3, 4$ and $m = 0, 1, 2, 3$; most of them corresponding to new solutions derived in this paper. Moreover, a systematic approach for evaluating these integrals when $\alpha > 4$ and $m>3$ is provided. The integrals are also evaluated as $|r|>1$ in order to calculate stress intensity factors (SIFs). Examples involving crack problems are given and discussed with emphasis on the linkage between mathematics and mechanics of fracture. The examples include classical linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), functionally graded materials (FGM), and gradient elasticity theory. An appendix, with closed form solutions for a broad class of integrals, supplements the paper.
