Abstract: | A closed-form solution for elastic field of an elliptical inhomogeneity with polynomial eigenstrains in orthotropic media
having complex roots is presented. The distribution of eigenstrains is assumed to be in the form of quadratic functions in
Cartesian coordinates of the points of the inhomogeneity. Elastic energy of inhomogeneity–matrix system is expressed in terms
of 18 real unknown coefficients that are analytically evaluated by means of the principle of minimum potential energy and
the corresponding elastic field in the inhomogeneity is obtained. Results indicate that quadratic terms in the eigenstrains
induce zeroth-order elastic strain components, which reflect the coupling effect of the zeroth- and second-order terms in
the polynomial expressions on the elastic field. In contrast, the first-order terms in the eigenstrains only produce corresponding
elastic fields in the form of the first-order terms. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the normal and shear stresses
at the interface between the inhomogeneity and the matrix. Furthermore, the solution reduces to known results for the special
cases. |
