It is found that when an ellipsoidal inclusion undergoes a shear eigenstrain and the inclusion is free to slip along the interface, the stress field vanishes everywhere in the inclusion and the matrix. It is assumed in the analysis that the inclusion interface cannot sustain any shear traction. There exists a shear deformation which transforms an ellipsoid into the identical ellipsoid without changing its orientation (ellipsoid invariant transformation). Therefore, no resistance for shear deformation is expected. This may be a characteristic of deformation seen in superplasticity alloys and granular materials. The theory is valid even for large deformations when incremental strains (or strain rates) are considered instead of strains themselves.
