'''John Douglas Eshelby''' ([[21 de dezembro]] de [[1916]] — [[28 de dezembro]] de [[1988]]) was a [[scientist]] in [[micromechanics]].

 

 

Eshelby was born at Puddington Cheshire, the son of Captain Alan John Eshelby and his wife Phoebe Mason Hutchinson. He was educated at [[St Cyprian's School]] and was due to go to [[Charterhouse School]] but appears to have taken a place somewhere else. He was then at [[Bristol University]]. Eshelby taught himself the theory of elasticity for his thesis on ‘Stationary and moving dislocations’. After holding several early research posts he worked in the [[Cavendish Laboratory]] at [[Cambridge University]] and was elected a Fellow of [[Churchill College]]. He was then appointed Reader in the Faculty of Materials (Theory of Materials) at the [[University of Sheffield]] where he became Professor in 1971. He was awarded by the [[Timoshenko Medal]] in 1977. He retired in 1982 and the Eshelby Memorial Bursary was founded in his memory.

The scientific phenomenon called "[[Eshelby's inclusion]]" is named after this scientist, and points at a ellipsoidal subdomain in an infinite homogeneous body, subjected to a uniform transformation strain. Eshelby was clear and amusing as a lecturer, and prepared his lectures with great care, but was not keen on doing experimental work. He was well versed in Sanskrit (among other classical languages)and was an avid second-hand book buyer.
