On determining stresses in rigid inclusions. Plane problems

Plane problems of determining the stress-strain state of an isotropic elastic domain with a rigid inclusion are considered. It is shown that the stress field in the inclusion is uniquely determined. This field is uniform for a plane with an elliptic inclusion, and the stresses at infinity and in the inclusion are related by mutually single-valued formulas. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 50, No. 4, pp. 183–186, July–August, 2009.
