The reduction in the number of elastic parameters in a multiphase multiply connected composite with body forces is examined on the basis of the invariance of stress under a change in elastic compliances. The conditions obtained are the generalization of the Michell conditions for domains containing inclusions of a different material. Several cases and examples are presented. The conditions allowing for linear (in space) transformation of the elastic compliances are also examined.
