Abstract
When the elastic moduli of an ellipsoidal subdomain of a material differ from those of the remainder (matrix), the subdomain is called an ellipsoidal inhomogeneity. Voids, cracks and precipitates are examples of the inhomogeneity which might also be called an inclusion. However, the term “inclusion” has been used in a different context in this book. Here, an inclusion has the same elastic moduli as the matrix, and it contains eigenstrains.
