Abstract:
Two models are considered, which describe the equilibrium state between an inhomogeneous two-dimensional body with two connected rigid inclusions. The first model corresponds to an elastic body with three-dimensional rigid inclusions located in regions with a constant width (curvilinear rectangle and trapezoid). The second model involves thin inclusions described by curves. In both models, it is assumed that there is a crack described by the same curve on the interface between the elastic matrix and rigid inclusions. The crack boundaries are subjected to a one-sided condition of non-penetration. The dependence of the solutions of equilibrium problems on the width of three-dimensional inclusions is studied. It is shown that the solutions of equilibrium problems in the presence of three-dimensional inclusions in a strong topology are reduced to the solutions of problems for thin inclusions with the width parameter tending to zero.
