Abstract
AbstractWe apply Muskhelishvili's complex variable method to solve the plane strain problem associated with two circular incompressible liquid inclusions embedded in an infinite isotropic elastic matrix subjected to uniform remote in‐plane normal stresses. An analytical solution to the problem is derived primarily with the aid of conformal mapping and analytic continuation. To demonstrate our analytical solution, we present detailed numerical results characterizing the internal uniform hydrostatic stresses within the two liquid inclusions, the nonuniform hoop stresses along the two circular liquid‐solid interfaces on the matrix side and the nonuniform rigid body rotations within the two circular liquid inclusions.
