Eshelby's work shaped the fields of defect mechanics and micromechanics of inhomogeneous solids for fifty years, providing the basis for quantitative analysis of the controlling mechanisms of plastic deformation and fracture. This volume presents the Collected Works of Eshelby unabridged, with forewords by D.M. Barnett (Stanford Univ.), B. Bilby (Sheffield), J.R. Rice (Harvard Univ.), A. Seeger (Stuttgart), and J.R.
