Then Kawashita and Nozaki justified the properties mathematically. In the present paper, some other properties of a regular polygonal inclusion are discovered. We find that for an N-fold regular polygonal inclusion except for a square, the arithmetic mean of Eshelby tensors at N rotational symmetrical points in the inclusion is also equal to the Eshelby tensor for a circular inclusion and independent of the orientation of the inclusion. Furthermore, in two corollaries, we point out that Eshelby tensor at the center, the averaged Eshelby tensor over the inclusion domain, and the line integral average of Eshelby tensors along any concentric circle of the inclusion are all identical with the arithmetic mean.展开更多

From the theory of elasticity, the formulation of the perturbance elastic fields, coming from a non-ellipsoidal inhomogeneity embedded in an infinitely extended material with remote constant loading, inevitably involve one or more integral equations. Up to now, due to the mathematical difficulty, there is almost no explicit analytical solution obtained except for the ellipsoidal inhomo- geneity. In this paper, we point out the impossibility to trans- form this inhomogeneity problem into a conventional Eshelby problem by the equivalent inclusion method even if the eigenstrain is chosen to be non-uniform. We also build up an equivalent model, called the second Eshelby problem, to investigate the perturbance stress. It is probably a better template to make use of the profound methods and results of conventional Eshelby problems of non-ellipsoidal inclusions.展开更多

The constitutive behavior of this kind of materials may involve both inherent anisotropy and plastic deformation induced anisotropy. A description of the cyclic plasticity for this kind of dual-phase materials is proposed by use of a microstructure-based constitutive model for a pearlitic colony, and the Hill＇s self-consistent scheme incorporating anisotropic Eshelby tensor for ellipsoidal inclusions. The corresponding numerical algorithm is developed. The responses of pearlitic steel BS 11 and single-phase hard-drawn copper subjected to asymmetrically cyclic loading are analyzed. The analytical results agree very well with experimental ones. Compared with the results using isotropic Eshelby tensor, it is shown that the isotropic approximation can provide acceptable overall responses in a much simpler way.展开更多

Based upon the complex variable method, an integrity basis of ten isotropic invariants of the 2D Eshelby tensors is obtained. Since an integrity basis is always a polynomial functional basis, these ten isotropic invariants are further proven to form an irreducible polynomial functional basis of the 2D Eshelby tensors.展开更多

This work reveals some inherent connection between the two models, and finds that their common basis is the generalised Eshelby integral based on the generalised Eshelby energy momentum tensor for quasicrystals.

The complex variable method and the confor- real mapping technique are used. The continuity conditions for the traction and displace- ment along the interface in the physical plane are reduced to the similar conditions along the unit circle of the mapping plane. The properties of the complex potentials defined in the finite elliptic region are analyzed. From the continuity conditions, one can separate and obtain the relevant complex potentials defined in the inclusion and the matrix. From the obtained complex potentials, the dependence of the real strains and stresses in the inclusion from the assumed eigenstrains is evaluated. In addition, the stress distribution on the interface along the matrix side is evaluated. The results are obtained in the paper for the first time.展开更多

文摘When studying the regular polygonal inclusion in 1997, Nozaki and Taya discovered numerically some remarkable properties of Eshelby tensor： Eshelby tensor at the center and the averaged Eshelby tensor over the inclusion domain are equal to that of a circular inclusion and independent of the orientation of the inclusion. Then Kawashita and Nozaki justified the properties mathematically. In the present paper, some other properties of a regular polygonal inclusion are discovered. We find that for an N-fold regular polygonal inclusion except for a square, the arithmetic mean of Eshelby tensors at N rotational symmetrical points in the inclusion is also equal to the Eshelby tensor for a circular inclusion and independent of the orientation of the inclusion.
