Keywords: Incompressible Initial stress Anisotropic S-wave Gravity field a b s t r a c t In this paper, propagation of shear waves in a non-homogeneous anisotropic incompress-ible, gravity field and initially stressed medium is studied. Analytical analysis reveals that the velocity of propagation of the shear waves depends upon the direction of propagation, the anisotropy, gravity field, non-ho...

in the traditional hole drilling method the in-plane stresses are studied in detail and the interlaminar stresses are not taken seriously. the interlaminar stresses on the free edge of composite materials are important and can cause matrix cracking and delamination. inserting holes in composite laminates causes free edges and it can induce interlaminar shear and normal stresses. in this researc...

In this paper, classical thin shell theory is used to analyze vibration and critical speed of simply supported rotating orthotropic cylindrical shell. The effects of centrifugal and Coriolis forces due to the rotation are considered in the present for‌mulation.. In addition, axial load is applied on cylinder as a ratio of critical buckling load. Finally the effects of orthotropic ratio, materia...

This paper analyzes a discrete form of 3D contact problems with local orthotropic Coulomb friction and coefficients of friction which may depend on the solution itself. The analysis is based on the fixed-point reformulation of the original problem. Conditions guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of discrete solutions are established. Finally, numerical results of a model example are presen...

In this paper, buckling of orthotropic rectangular plates under different loadings was investigated. For this reason, governing buckling equations for an isotropic plate were modified by applying constitutive equations of orthotropic materials. After obtaining the equations of orthotropic plates, Generalized Differential Quadrature method (GDQM) was applied on buckling equations and thus a set ...

in this paper, the problem of calculating the stress intensity factor (sif) for an orthotropic thick-walled cylinder with a small radial crack subject to internal pressure is considered. the crack is assumed to be an edge crack on the external radius of the cylinder. the stress intensity factor is calculated by superposition of an uncracked cylinder with uniform stress distribution and a cylind...

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...
