Abstract

An account is given of Eshelby's point-force method for solving elastic inclusion problems, and of his equations relating an in homogeneity to its equivalent inclusion. The introduction of complex variable formalism enables explicit solutions to be found in various two-dimensional cases. Strain energies are calculated. The equilibrium shape of an elliptic inclusion exhibits an interesting feature not previously expected. A fresh analysis of stress magnification effects is developed.
