Summary

Analytical solutions are proposed for the stress and displacement fields in a quasi three-dimensional elastic anisotropic body containing an elliptic cavity or rigid inclusion. The directions of the principal elastic axes are allowed to be inclined arbitrarily with respect to the axes of the elliptic cavity. As an application, expressions for the stress intensity factors are formulated when the cavity reduces to a colinear crack.
