Abstract
We discuss the stress concentration problem of an elastic solid with an elastic circular-cylindrical inclusion under tension. A method of solution is developed for the above problem using fundamental solutions of axisymmetric problems of elasticity. The fundamental solutions are defined as solutions for the problem of an elastic solid subjected to axisymmetric body forces acting along a circle. Through numerical calculations, the influence of the length of the elastic circular-cylindrical inclusion on the stress distribution around the inclusion and on the central section is investigated. The influence of the share modulus of elasticity on the stress distribution is also shown.
