Abstract

This paper deals with the two-dimensional problem of a circular inclusion undergoing spontaneous dimensional changes in an infinite elastic medium with a circular hole. This provides a more realistic model for some physical phenomena where inclusions have found applications. The effect of a concentrated force acting at an arbitrary point of an infinite medium with a circular hole has been found as an auxiliary result. After the evaluation of the effect of a concentrated force, Eshelby's. point force approach (1) has been used to get an exact solution to the inclusion problem.
