The inhomogeneous and plastic inclusion problem with moving boundary (Q1197280)

We extend the solution of inelastically strained inclusion problem of Eshelby and Kröner to the case of a geometrically moving inclusion- matrix interface. Study of this analysis allows some useful insights. In particular, transformation phase or migration of dislocation walls and, thus, their order of occurrence, can be determined via energy considerations. Moreover, in case of isotropic elasticity, analytical results are given such as the growing of a flat ellipsoid or the crushing of a spherical inclusion into an ellipsoid; restricted anisotropy is also investigated.
