An approximate constitutive relation is derived for a power-law viscous material stiffened by rigid spherical inclusions using a differential self-consistent analysis. This approach consists of two parts: the formulation of a self-consistent differential equation, and the solution of an associated kernel problem, a nonlinear boundary value problem for an isolated inclusion in an infinite power-law viscous matrix.

An approximate constitutive relation is derived for plane strain deformation in a power-law viscous matrix reinforced with long rigid inclusions with elliptical cross sections. The analysis is based on the differential self-consistent scheme and numerical calculations estimating the influence of a single inclusion on the material surrounding it. In particular, the effects of particle shape and material nonlinearity are reported.

In this paper we shall discuss the boundary value problem consisting of the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the second order, and the boundary conditions.
