Elastic Space Containing A Rigid Ellipsoidal Inclusion Subjected to Translation and Rotation

  • Chapter
Multiscale Deformation and Fracture in Materials and Structures

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 84))

Conclusions

Closed form expressions are derived for the full set of elastic fields generated by a rigid ellipsoidal inclusion embedded into an infinite elastic space and subjected to (arbitrarily oriented) translations and rotations. “Stiffness relations” that interrelate the displacements and rotations of the inclusion to the forces and moments applied to it are also given.
