Summary

Explicit forms of the first-order approximate boundary conditions are derived for a 2D problem of SH waves scattering by a thin, curvilinear, elastic, rigidly supported inclusion in a uniform background. The effects of varying elastic modulus and geometrical forms of the inclusion on the stress and strain states of the body near and far from the ends of the inhomogeneity are examined. The method of investigation is based on the matching of asymptotic expansions with the thickness-to-length ratio as the perturbation parameter.
