Analytical elasticity study demonstrates stress field alterations around spherical and cylindrical inclusions in materials, highlighting critical concentration effects in concrete and steel.

Key Points

To determine how small spherical and cylindrical inclusions and flaws alter an otherwise uniform stress distribution within an elastic medium.
Applied analytical solutions of the governing equations of elasticity to model disturbances in uniform stress fields.
Derived numerical solutions for diverse inclusion types, including gaseous voids, perfectly rigid inclusions, slag globules in steel, and reinforcing rods in concrete.
Quantified local stress concentration profiles generated around spherical and cylindrical inclusions embedded within a uniform stress field.
Demonstrated distinct stress alteration patterns corresponding to physical systems such as rigid reinforcements in concrete and slag flaws in steel.
