Neutral inhomogeneity in circular cylinder subjected to prescribed boundary displacement

Abstract

In this paper a single circular inhomogeneity embedded within a solid circular cylinder whose curved boundary surface is subjected to a given boundary displacement in axial direction is considered. The displacement neutrality of the coupled system of host body and inclusion is studied. The neutral inhomogeneity (inclusion) does not disturb the displacement, strain and stress fields in the host body. In this paper the deformation of the considered inhomogeneous cylinder is a linear antiplane shear deformation.
