Strong convergence of the solutions of the linear elasticity and uniformity of asymptotic expansions in the presence of small inclusions

We consider the Lamé system of linear elasticity when the inclusion has the extreme elastic constants. We show that the solutions to the Lamé system converge in appropriate H1-norms when the shear modulus tends to infinity (the other modulus, the compressional modulus is fixed), and when the bulk modulus and the shear modulus tend to zero. Using this result, we show that the asymptotic expansion of the displacement vector in the presence of small inclusion is uniform with respect to Lamé parameters.
