An accurate estimate of thermal stresses in multilayered microelectronics structures along the bonded interfaces is crucial for design and prediction of delamination-related failures. Compared with a numerical method, analytical closed-form solution can offer a more rapid method to obtain the stresses at the interfaces. An analytical model for ply-level sub-laminate analysis is investigated in ...

Continuum finite element (FE) models of bones and bone-implant configurations are usually based on clinical CT scans. In virtually all of these models, material properties assigned to the bone elements are chosen as isotropic. It has been shown, however, that cancellous bone can be highly anisotropic and that its elastic behavior is best described as orthotropic. Material models have been propo...

In this paper, a method based on a combination of an optimization of directions of orthotropy, along with topology optimization, is applied to continuum orthotropic solids with the objective of minimizing their compliance. The spatial discretization algorithm is the so called Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) “mixed collocation” method for the design domain, and the material-orthotropy orie...

Abstract Critical velocities of a two-layer composite tube under uniform internal pressure moving at constant velocity are analytically determined. The formulation is based on Love–Kirchhoff thin shell theory that incorporates the rotary inertia and material anisotropy. consists two perfectly bonded axisymmetric circular cylindrical layers dissimilar materials, which can be orthotropic, transve...

In this paper, a numerical solution has been developed for hollow circular cylinders made up of orthotropic material which is subjected to twist using micro polar theory. The effect of twisting moment and material internal length on hollow thick-walled circular cylinder made up of micro polar orthotropic material is investigated. Finite difference method has been used to exhibit the influence o...

The in-plane behaviour of tetrachiral lattices should be characterized by bi-dimensional orthotropic material owing to the existence of two orthogonal axes of rotational symmetry. Moreover, the constitutive model must also represent the chirality inherent in the lattices. To this end, a bi-dimensional orthotropic chiral micropolar model is developed based on the theory of irreducible orthogonal...

This paper presents a differential quadrature solution for analysis of transverse vibrations of non-homogeneous rectangular orthotropic plates of linearly varying thickness resting on Winkler foundation. Following Lévy approach i.e. two parallel edges are simply supported, the governing equation of motion has been solved for three different combinations of clamped, simply supported and free bou...

fiber metal laminates (fmls) are new composite materials consisting of thin metal layers and high strength composite layers. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) is a family of the fml that consists of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy composite layers. this material has many advantages such as light weight, excellent corrosion, fatigue and impact resistance. since, arall is a new materi...

Every linear planar anisotropic elastic material is equivalent, under a linear change of coordinates, to an orthotropic material. Consequently, up to linear changes of variables, there are just two "canonical" planar elastic moduli which determine the properties of any linearly elastic material. Extensions to three-dimensional elasticity and applications are indicated.
