Abstract
The Eshelby problem refers to the response of a two-dimensional elastic sheet to cutting away a circle, deforming it into an ellipse, and pushing it back. The resulting response is dominated by the so-called Eshelby kernel, which was derived for purely elastic (infinite) material, but has been employed extensively to model the redistribution of stress after plastic events in amorphous solids with finite boundaries. Here, we discuss and solve the Eshelby problem directly for amorphous solids, taking into account possible screening effects and realistic boundary conditions. We find major modifications compared to the classical Eshelby solution. These modifications are needed for modeling correctly the spatial responses to plastic events in amorphous solids.
