Abstract

The Pólya–Szegö dipole tensors are employed for the analysis of plane elasticity problems in non-homogeneous media. Classes of equivalence for defects (cavities and rigid inclusions) are specified for the Laplacian operator and elasticity equations: composite materials with defects of the same class have the same effective elastic moduli. Explicit asymptotic formulae for effective compliance matrices of dilute composites are presented.
