| Abstract: | We consider an elastic isotropic material containing a fibrous inclusion or a void subject to loads. We study the possibility
of increasing the strength of the material using “control action.” As examples of such actions we consider an additional external
load, application of pressure in the cavities (voids), and variation of the temperature of uniform heating of the medium with
the inclusions. Studies are carried out for two-dimensional problems of linear elasticity theory. From the class of all possible
actions we single out a subclass leading to states of equal strength along the phase interface. We study the efficiency of
these types of action and show that in certain cases they lead to a manifold increase in the strength of the material. We
give the results of numerical studies.
