Abstract

Integral characteristics, such as elastic polarization matrices of elastic inclusions and cavities, are described. The matrix of elastic polarization of a finite cavity is constructed in the case of the two-dimensional Lamé operator under the assumption that the geometry of the domain occupied by the cavity is defined by a conformal mapping from the unit disk. Examples and applications of these integral characteristics in the theory of cracks are considered.
