On a circular inclusion with inhomogeneous imperfect interface in plane elasticity

In Sudak et al., a general method is developed for the rigorous solution of a circular inclusion with inhomogeneously imperfect interface in plane ela sticity. In this paper, the authors extend the results presented in Sudak e t al. by finding exact closed-form solutions of a more general case arising from a choice of interface parameters that leads to a coupled and seemingl y intractable system of differential equations. The results again illustrat e how the pointwise variation of the parameter describing the interface imp erfections has a pronounced effect on the average mean stress within the in clusion.
