Abstract

Asymmetric problems related to a penny-shaped rigid inclusion embedded in bonded contact with a transversely isotropic elastic medium are investigated. The asymmetric displacements of the rigid circular inclusion correspond to a rotation about a diametral axis and an in-plane lateral translation. These problems are formulated in terms of Hankel integral transforms and reduced to systems of dual integral equations. The rotational and translational stiffnesses for the embedded rigid circular disc inclusion are obtained in exact closed forms.
