Abstract In metallurgical processes, as for example cold rolling or deep drawing of sheet metal, it is frequently observed that the crystallographic texture, and with anisotropic mechanical properties a material, evolve dynamically. Hence, to describe such necessary model functional dependence material parameters on which itself can vary locally different plastic strain histories. this work, we...

Rolling waves have unconventional circular polarizations enabled by the equal-speed propagation of longitudinal and transverse in elastic solids. They can transport non-paraxial intrinsic (i.e. spin) mechanical angular momentum media. In this work, we analyze rolling wave reflections their effects on spins a cubic half-space with an elastically supported boundary. Reflected from both normal gen...

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.

Uniaxial optical anisotropy in the geometrical-optics approach is a classical problem and most of the theory is known for at least fifty years. Although the subject appears frequently in the literature, it is nearly silent about wave propagation through inhomogeneous anisotropic media. At the same time, the rapid advances in liquid-crystal lenses call for a good overview of the theory on wave p...

Materials with anisotropic material parameters can be utilized to fabricate many fascinating devices, such as hyperlenses, metasolids, and one-way waveguides. In this study, we analyze the effects of geometric anisotropy on a two-dimensional metamaterial composed of a rectangular array of elliptic cylinders and derive an effective medium theory for such a metamaterial. We find that it is possib...
