We consider the equations of linear homogeneous anisotropic elasticity admitting the possibility that the material is internally constrained, and formulate a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the fundamental boundary value problems to be well-posed. For materials fulfilling the condition, we establish continuous dependence of the displacement and stress on the elastic moduli and ell...

Analysis for the propagation of plane harmonic thermoelastic waves in an infinite homogeneous orthotropic plate of finite thickness in the generalized theory of thermoelasticity with two thermal relaxation times is studied. The frequency equations corresponding to the extensional (symmetric) and flexural (antisymmetric) thermoelastic modes of vibration are obtained and discussed. Special cases ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influences of rotation, magnetic field, initial stress, and gravity field on Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous orthotropic elastic medium. The government equations is solved by Lame’s potential and obtained the frequency equation which determines the velocity of Rayleigh waves, including rotation, initial stress, gravity field, and magnetic field, in a ...

in this work, an inverse finite element formulation was modified for considering material anisotropy in obtaining blank shape and forming severity of deep drawn orthotropic parts. in this procedure, geometry of final part and thickness of initial blank sheet were known. after applying ideal forming formulations between material points of initial blank and final shape, an equation system was obt...

A new micromechanical model for nacre (mother-of-pearl) is proposed, based on an accurate description of the actual microstructure of the material. In the small-strain regime (where damage and fracture are excluded), it is shown via homogenization techniques that the mechanical behaviour of nacre is: (i) orthotropic, with a strong difference in directional stiffnesses; (ii) bimodular (different...

In this paper, a new methodology for identifying numerous elastic parameters of an orthotropic material from a single structural test is presented. At the heart of the methodology is the self-learning algorithm which is to extract various stress-strain relationships from a single structural test and train a neural network with the relationships in finite element framework. The constitutive matr...

The Resonalyser method uses resonance frequencies measured on rectangular plate specimens to identify orthotropic material properties. An inverse technique is used to update the material properties in a numerical model of the test plate. The obtained material properties of steel and aluminum test plates are validated with the results of standard impulse excitation tests and standard tensile tes...
