Elastic Fields of Interacting Elliptical Inhomogeneities for Two-Dimensional Problems Based on the Equivalent Inclusion Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the equivalent inclusion method is used to calculate the elastic fields of a two-dimensional plate containing any number of ellipitical inhomogeneities. Both the interior and the exterior Eshelbys tensors are used in this method. Numerical examples are given to assess the performance of the presented method. The solutions obtained with this method have been checked and confirmed by the finite element analysis results.
