Abstract
Several years ago ESHELBY [1] (1956), in a paper devoted to the continuum theory of lattice defects, deduced a surface-integral representation for the "force on an elastic singularity or inhomogeneity", which-in the absence of such defects-gives rise to a conservation law for regular elastostatic fields appropriate to homogeneous but not necessarily isotropic solids in the presence of infinitesimal deformations. Morevoer, ESHIELBY noted that his result, when suitably interpreted, remains strictly valid for finite deformations of elastic solids.
