ELASTIC CIRCULAR INCLUSION IN AN INFINITE PLANE CONTAINING TWO CRACKS

The elastic fields in an elastic circular inclusion and surrounding infinite matrix containing two cracks symmetrically simulated are determined when the matrix is subjected to loads at infinity. In this problem, the elastic properties of inclusion could differ from those of the matrix. The Muskhelishvili's technique is used. The solution depends upon two sets of suitable complex potentials for matrix and inclusion respectively, which solves the problem.
