... gradient method (CGM) is used to figure out the normal pressure and tangential traction. In SAM, the equivalent inclusion method (EIM) is applied to analyze the influence of composites on the matrix, and the displacement disturbance resulting from such composites is added to the total surface displacement...

... on Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method (EIM) to study the influence of distributed inhomogeneities on the contact of inhomogeneous materials. Benchmark comparisons with the results obtained with an existing numerical method and the finite element method (FEM) demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency...

... by means of the equivalent inclusion method. The surface displacement or deformation caused by inhomogeneities is introduced to the film thickness equation. The stresses are the sum of those caused by the fluid pressure and the eigenstrains. The lubrication of a material with a single inhomogeneity...

... and fast method for partial-slip contact involving a material with an inhomogeneity based on the equivalent inclusion method, where the inhomogeneity is replaced by an inclusion with properly chosen eigenstrains. The stress and displacement fields due to eigenstrains are formulated based on the half-space...
