A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solids containing interacting multiple anisotropic inclusions subject to remote uniaxial tension. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out for square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions. Effects of the number of anisotropic inclusions and various fiber volume fractions on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy of the method is validated by solving the single inclusion problem for which solutions are available in the literature.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for solving the elastostatic problems related to an unbounded isotropic elastic solid; this solid is subjected to remote uniaxial tension, and it contains multiple interacting isotropic inclusions. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out; square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions are considered. The effects of the number of isotropic inclusions and different fiber volume fractions on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are clarified by comparing the results obtained by analytical and finite element methods. The VIEM is shown to be very accurate and effective for investigating the local stresses in composites containing isotropic fibers.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in unbounded isotropic elastic solids containing multiple interacting isotropic or anisotropic diamond-shaped inclusions subject to remote uniaxial tension. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel diamond-shaped cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out for square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions. The effects of the number of isotropic or anisotropic diamond-shaped inclusions and of the various fiber volume fractions for the circular inclusions circumscribing its respective diamond-shaped inclusion on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are examined through comparison with results obtained using the finite element method.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solid containing multiple isotropic elliptical fibers of arbitrary orientation subject to uniform stress at infinity. The fibers are assumed to be long parallel elliptical cylinders composed of isotropic elastic material perfectly bonded to the isotropic matrix. The solid is assumed to be under plane strain on the plane normal to the cylinders. A detailed analysis of the stress field at the matrix-fiber interface for square and hexagonal packing of the fibers is carried out for different values of the number, orientation angles and concentration of the elliptical fibers. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are examined through comparison with results obtained from analytical and finite element methods.

A volume integral equation method(VIEM) is applied for the effective analysis of elastic wave scattering problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions. It should be noted that this newly developed numerical method does not require the Green's function for anisotropic inclusions to solve this class of problems since only the Green's function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is Involved In their formulation for the analysis. nis new method can also be applied to general two-dimensional elastodynamic problems with arbitrary shapes and number of anisotropic inclusions. Through the analysis of plane elastodynamic problems in unbounded isotropic matrix with an orthotropic inclusion, it is established that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane elastic problems in unbounded solids containing general anisotropic inclusions.

A recently developed numerical method based on a mixed volume and boundary integral equation method is applied to calculate the accurate stress intensity factors at the crack tips in unbounded isotropic solids in the presence of multiple anisotropic inclusions and cracks subject to external loads. Firstly, it should be noted that this newly developed numerical method does not require the Green's function for anisotropic inclusions to solve this class of problems since only Green's function for the unbounded isotropic matrix is involved in their formulation for the analysis. Secondly, this method takes full advantage of the capabilities developed in FEM and BIEM. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the stress intensity factors are carried out for an unbounded isotropic matrix containing an orthotropic cylindrical inclusion and a crack. The accuracy and effectiveness of the new method are examined through comparison with results obtained from analytical method and volume integral equation method. It is demonstrated that this new method is very accurate and effective for solving plane elastostatic problems in unbounded solids containing anisotropic inclusions and cracks.

A mixed volume and boundary integral equation method (Mixed VIEM-BIEM) is used to calculate the plane elastostatic field in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing an isotropic or anisotropic inclusion and a void subject to remote loading parallel to the traction-free boundary. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the isotropic matrix and the isotropic or orthotropic inclusion is carried out for different values of the distance between the center of the inclusion and the traction-free surface boundary in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing three different geometries of an isotropic or orthotropic inclusion and a void. The method is shown to be very accurate and effective for investigating the local stresses in an isotropic elastic half-plane containing multiple isotropic or anisotropic inclusions and multiple voids.
