Abstract: This paper is concerned with the stress concentration phenomenon in elastic composite materials when the inclusions are very closely spaced. We investigate the gradient blow-up estimates for the Lam'{e} system of linear elasticity with partially infinite coefficients to show the dependence of the degree of stress enhancement on the distance between inclusions in a composite containing densely placed stiff inclusions. In this paper we assume that the inclusions to be of C1,gamma, weaker than the previous C2,gamma assumption. To overcome this new difficulty, we make use of W1,p estimates for elliptic system with right hand side in divergence form, instead of a direct W2,p argument for C2,gamma inclusion case, and combine with the Campanato's approach to establish the optimal gradient estimates, including upper and lower bounds. Moreover, an asymptotic formula of the gradient near the blow-up point is obtained for some symmetric C1,gamma inclusions.
