An elastic solution for two spherical precipitates embedded in infinite matrix (Q1070859)

In this paper, the distribution of strains within anisotropic precipitates is obtained by expanding the strains at the precipitates A and B in Taylor series, respectively, so that the method employed here requires no symmetry relation between the strains at the points of the precipitates A and B. It is therefore possible to obtain the distribution of the strain within each precipitate in case the sizes of the precipitates are different and/or the elastic constants of one precipitate are different from those of the other. The strains are also expanded in Taylor series about arbitrary point, which enables one to obtain the strains more accurately.
