Internal constraints and linear constitutive relations for transversely isotropic materials

Paolo Podio-Guidugli, Maurizio Vianello (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

All internal constraints compatible with transverse isotropy are determined and representation formulae are given for the constitutive relations of arbitrarily constrained, transversely isotropic materials.

Localization effects for eigenfunctions near to the edge of a thin domain

Serguei A. Nazarov (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

It is proved that the first eigenfunction of the mixed boundary-value problem for the Laplacian in a thin domain Ω h is localized either at the whole lateral surface Γ h of the domain, or at a point of Γ h , while the eigenfunction decays exponentially inside Ω h . Other effects, attributed to the high-frequency range of the spectrum, are discussed for eigenfunctions of the mixed boundary-value and Neumann problems, too.

On the change of energy caused by crack propagation in 3-dimensional anisotropic solids

Martin Steigemann, Maria Specovius-Neugebauer (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

Crack propagation in anisotropic materials is a persistent problem. A general concept to predict crack growth is the energy principle: A crack can only grow, if energy is released. We study the change of potential energy caused by a propagating crack in a fully three-dimensional solid consisting of an anisotropic material. Based on methods of asymptotic analysis (method of matched asymptotic expansions) we give a formula for the decrease in potential energy if a smooth inner crack grows along a...

On the nonlinear behaviour of bimodular multilayer ed plates.

Giacinto Porco, Giuseppe Spandea, Raffaele Zinno (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In an earlier study [16] the nonlinear behaviour of unimodular laminated plates was studied. This paper, following the previous study, concerns a large deflection analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates having arbitrary boundary conditions and finite thickness shear moduli. The plates are manufactured in bimodular materials and constructed in a cross-ply fashion or in a single layer with arbitrary fibre direction angle. Numerical results are obtained by a finite element technique in which...
