When a composite body consisting of two isotropic and elastic phases is in a state of plane strain, the stresses induced by applied tractions show a reduced dependence on the elastic constants. Con sequently, the stress concentration factors can conveniently be rep resented and studied in the plane of the appropriate composite parameters.
