The problem of the out of plane buckling of polar orthotropic armuli under uniform internal or external pressure loading has been investigated with the assumption of axisymmetry by numerous researchers. In this paper, the buckling of polar and rectilinearly orthotropic annuli subjected to internal or external pressure loading is examined without restriction to axisymmetric buckling modes. The b...

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...

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...

Ultrasonic polar scans are based on the recording of the reflected or transmitted amplitude of sound, impinging a fiber reinforced composite from every possible angle of incidence. The mechanical anisotropy of such materials makes the reflection coefficient direction dependent, whence an ultrasonic polar scan forms a fingerprint of the investigated material. Such scans have already proved to be...

Fracture analysis of orthotropic cracked media is investigated by applying the recently developed extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) (Ghorashi et al., 2012) using the T-spline basis functions. The signed distance function and orthotropic crack tip enrichment functions are adopted for extrinsically enriching the conventional isogeometric analysis approximation for representation of strong dis...

Free asymmetric transverse vibration of a polar orthotropic thin annular plate with parabolically varying thickness in radial direction have been computed on the basis of classical plate theory considering both the peripheries of the plate elastically restrained against translation and rotation. The fourth order linear differential equation with variable coefficients governing the motion in the...

OBJECTIVE The study was to investigate the impact of orthotropic material on the biomechanics of dental implant, based on a detailed mandible with high geometric and mechanical similarity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multiple data sources were used to elaborate detailed biological structures and implant CAD models. In addition, an extended orthotropic material assignment methodology based on harmon...
