Ustinov (Institute for Problems in Mechanics, Russian Academy of Sciences, pr-t Vernadskogo 101, str. 1, Moscow, 119526 Russia, ustinov@ipmnet.ru) |  | Abstract | By passing to the limit in the general solution, we obtain several exact asymptotic formulas for the energy of an inhomogeneity in a body located in an external stress field. The parameters determining the type of the asymptotic behavior are the inclusion semiaxis ratio and the inclusion-matrix elastic modulus ratio. In the case of a large simultaneous deviation of the parameters from unity, we distinguish seven regions corresponding to various successive passages to the limit as these parameters approach zero (or infinity). |  | Keywords | elasticity, inhomogeneity, Eshelby tensor, small parameter |  | References |
