Presents an exact solution to the problem of an ellipsoidal inhomogeneity embedded in an infinitely extended body with imperfect interface subject to uniform shear stress at infinity.

An infinite elastic matrix containing an elliptical inhomogeneity with imperfect interface is studied.

The solution for the thermoelastic field of an elliptical inclusion under a linear temperature change is provided in the present study by using an effective method for solving the plane thermoelastic problems on complex multiply connected region.

The electroelastic interaction between a piezoelectric screw dislocation and an elliptical inclusion containing an electrically conductive interfacial rigid line is investigated.

This investigation proves that a three-phase anisotropic elliptic inclusion under uniform remote stresses in anti-plane shear admits an internal uniform stress field within inner elliptical inclusion provided that constitutive parameters for the interphase layer are properly selected.

Marc were compared with those of the BEM scheme for a square sheet with two very close elliptic inclusions.

A generalized solution was obtained for the partially debonded elliptic inhomogeneity problem in piezoelectric materials under antiplane shear and inplane electric loading using the complex variable method.
