An equation is derived for the strains of an arbitrary elastic field in an infinite matrix perturbed by several inclusions. The equation is solved exactly when the shear moduli of the inclusions and matrix are identical, and also when only a single ellipsoidal inclusion perturbs a field uniform at infinity. Mean-values of the strains are then calculated for non-uniform fields perturbed either by an ellipsoid or by a system of weakly-interacting spheres.
