Abstract
Eshelby's equivalent-inclusion method is extended to a finite number of arbitrarily oriented anisotropic ellipsoidal inclusions in an elastic isotropic matrix under polynomial mechanical loading and heating. The interaction of two identical and two different triaxial ellipsoidal inclusions in an elastic medium is studied as numerical examples. In special cases, the results are compared with those obtained by other authors
