Abstract
We consider an elastic inclusion embedded in a particular class of harmonic materials subjected to uniform remote stress. Using complex variable techniques, we show that if the Piola stress within the inclusion is uniform, the inclusion is necessarily an ellipse except in the special case when the (uniform) remote stress assumes a particular form. In addition, we obtain the complete solution for an elliptic inclusion with uniform interior stress for any uniform remote stress distribution.
