Two circular inclusions with inhomogeneously imperfect interfaces in plane elasticity

This paper is concerned with the problem of two circular inclusions with circumferentially inhomogeneously imperfect interfaces embedded in an infinite matrix in plane elastostatics. Infinite series form solutions to this problem are derived by applying complex variable techniques. The numerical results demonstrate that the interface imperfection, interface inhomogeneity, and interaction among neighboring inclusions (fibers) will exert a significant influence on the stresses along the interfaces and average stresses within the inclusions.
