Abstract
Boundary integral equations are presented to analyze perturbations in terms of small elastic deformations superimposed upon an arbitrary, homogeneous strain. Plane strain deformations of an incompressible, prestressed, anisotropic, elastic solid are considered assuming the Biot constitutive framework. The special case of perturbations of stress/deformation incident wave fields, caused by a shear band of finite length formed inside the material at a certain stage of the deformation path, is formulated.
