We use Muskhelishvili’s complex variable formulation to derive a closed-form solution
to the plane strain problem of an elliptical incompressible liquid inclusion embedded
in an infinite isotropic elastic matrix subjected to the action of an edge dislocation
applied at an arbitrary position. The internal uniform hydrostatic tension within the
liquid inclusion and the pair of analytic functions characterizing the elastic field in
the matrix are completely determined. The image force acting on the edge dislocation
is the sum of two parts: the first part has been obtained in previous studies and is
due to the edge dislocation near a traction-free elliptical hole; the second modified
part is caused by the induced uniform hydrostatic tension on the elliptical
boundary: this part has not been considered previously and is given here
explicitly.
