On the stress-based and strain-based methods for predicting optimal orientation of orthotropic materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the strain-based and stressbased methods for solving optimal orientation problems of orthotropic materials are studied. Closed form solutions for both methods are derived and classified. The optimal orientation of both shear “weak” and some shear “strong” orthotropic materials may coincide with the major principal stress direction in the stress-based method. Similar results from the strain-based method are also derived. From the derivations, however, it can also be shown that both methods may fail under a special condition called “repeated global minimum” condition.

Optimal bead orientation of 3D shell/plate structures
In this paper, the optimal bead orientation problem of 3D shell/plate structures is investigated for both static and dynamic cases. Using a bending equivalent orthotropic shell design cell model, the optimal bead orientation problem is converted to an optimal orientation problem of bending equivalent orthotropic materials, and it is solved by a new energy based method. In the energy based metho...

متن کاملA Multi Plane Model for Natural Anisotropy of Sand
Anisotropy of sand is mainly due to the geometrical arrangement of particles that depends on the orientation of applied load respect to the bedding plane. It is geologically due to micro-fabric created by the arrangement of the particles configured during deposition. Most of the models develop using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying this kind of anisotropy. This is mainly ...

متن کاملOn Analysis of Stress Concentration in Curvilinear Anisotropic Deformable Continuum Bodies
In cylindrical continua, hoop stresses are induced due to the circumferential failure. This mainly happens when the cylinder is subjected to mechanical loads which vary in the circumferential directions. On the other hand, radial stress is stress in the direction of or opposite to the central axis of a cylindrical body. In the present study, the influence of curvilinear anisotropy on the radial...
