the bem is applied to the solution of the torsion problem of non-homogeneous anisotropic non-circular prismatic bars. the problem is formulated in terms of the warping function. this formulation leads to a second order partial differential equation with variable coefficients, subjected to a generalized neumann type boundary condition. the problem is solved using the analog equation method (aem)...

Anisotropic dielectric response occurs naturally due to the presence of gradation, like in functionally graded materials or graded biological cells. However, these materials with locally anisotropic dielectric responses can have macroscopically isotropic responses. In treating graded particles of anisotropic materials, traditional isotropic gradation methods need to be modified. In this work, w...

ABAQUS offers the possibility to model non-linear isotropic materials as well as linear anisotropic materials. However, it is not possible to use these two capabilities at the same time in order to model anisotropic hyperelastic materials. Gurvich proposed to model such materials by means of the linear superposition of two fictitious materials: a linear anisotropic, and a hyperelastic isotropic...

When an anisotropic material is subject to creep conditions and a complex state of stress, an anisotropic creep damage behavior is observed. Previous research has focused on the anisotropic creep damage behavior of isotropic materials but few constitutive models have been developed for anisotropic creeping solids. This paper describes the development of a new anisotropic tertiary creep damage c...
