✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a direct solution for the stresses in an infinite strip containing a rigid circular inclusion located at any position within the strip. The solution is applicable to any stress system even with respect to the cross axis of symmetry of~ the strip. The strip is regarded in a state of generalized plane stress.

Numerical examples are shown corresponding to a certain given size and location of the inclusion. Both the cases of longitudinal tension and transverse bending are considered. The parametric coefficients involved in each case are determined. The hoop-stress in the strip at the surface oi inclusion as well as the normal stress along the cross axis of symmetry of the strip are evaluated.
