Summary

It is shown that in a certain sense, inversion transforms biharmonic functions into biharmonic functions. The first boundary value problem of elastostatics is also largely unchanged by this transformation, and known solutions can be used to obtain new results for inverse regions. As an example, the problem of a stress free dumb-bell shaped hole in an infinite plate is solved.
