Abstract

A system of equations is derived for determining the elastic fields in an inclusion and its surrounding finite matrix when the inclusion suffers a physical change and, if not constrained by the matrix, would undergo a deformation . A method for obtaining the exact solution of these equations, when the matrix and inclusion have the same elastic constants, is described and the particular problem of the square inclusion in an infinite matrix solved.
