The aim of this paper is to extend recent works devoted the study effect 3D pores concave shape embedded in isotropic matrix case transversely (TI) matrix. In first part paper, approximate relations for compliance contribution tensor two reference shapes, supersphere and axisymmetrical superspheroid, are developed on basis Finite Element Modelling, recently presented a companion known exact sol...

Ahstraet-Axisymmetric deformations of a transversely isotropic, rigid/perfectly plastic target being penetrated by a long rigid cylindrical rod with an ellipsoidal nose have been analyzed. The deformations of the target appear steady to an observer situated at the penetrator nose tip. The contact between the target and the penetrator is assumed to be smooth. Computed results show that the defor...

The transient response of an elastic cylinder to a laser impact is studied. When the laser source is a line perpendicular to the cylinder axis, modes guided along the cylinder are generated. For a millimetric steel cylinder up to ten narrow resonances can be locally detected by a laser interferometer below 8 MHz. These resonances correspond to Zero-Group Velocity guided modes or to circumferent...
