This paper deals with the analysis of the stress distribution arising in a transversely isotropic infinite slab with a symmetrically located spherical cavity under all-around tension. Difficulties in satisfying both boundary conditions on the surfaces of the slab and the surface of the cavity are successfully overcome by using the methods of Hankel transform and Schmidt-orthogonormalization. For some practical materials the influence of transverse isotropy upon stress distribution is presented in the form of curves.

This paper concerns the analysis of the stress distribution arising in a transversely isotropic infinite cylinder having a spherical cavity under longitudinal tension. Boundary conditions on the surface of the cylinder and the cavity are well satisfied by using the methods of Hankel transform and Schmidt-orthonormalization. Numerical calculations for some practical materials are carried out and the influence of transverse isotropy upon stress distribution is clarified.

Abstract This paper presents an analytic solution for an infinite slab having a symmetrically located spherical cavity when it is stretched by an all-round tension. The required stress function is constructed by combining linearly two sets of periodic biharmonic functions and a biharmonic integral. The sets of biharmonic functions are derived from two fundamental functions specially built up for the purpose. The arbitrary functions involved in the biharmonic integral are first adjusted to satisfy the boundary conditions on the surfaces of the slab by applying the Hankel transform of zero order. Then the stress function is expanded in spherical co-ordinates and the boundary conditions on the surface of the cavity are satisfied by adjusting the coefficients of superposition attached to the sets of biharmonic functions. The resulting system of linear equations is solved by the method of successive approximations. The solution is finally illustrated by numerical examples for two radii of the cavity.

Relaxed Energy

In this paper we investigate the response of fiber-reinforced cylindrical membranes subject to axisymmetric deformations. The membrane is considered as an incompressible material, and the phenomenon of wrinkling is taken into account by means of the relaxed energy function. Two cases are considered: transversely isotropic membranes, characterized by one family of fibers oriented in one direction, and orthotropic membranes, characterized by two family of fibers oriented in orthogonal directions. The strain-energy function is considered as the sum of two terms: The first term is associated with the isotropic properties of the base material, and the second term is used to introduce transverse isotropy or orthotropy in the mechanical response. We determine the mechanical response of the membrane as a function of fiber orientations for given boundary conditions. The objective is to find possible fiber orientations that make the membrane as stiff as possible for the given boundary conditions. Specifically, it is shown that for transversely isotropic membranes a unique fiber orientation exists, which does not affect the mechanical response, i.e., the overall behavior is identical to a nonreinforced membrane.

In this paper, a solution is given for the stresses and displacements around a spherical cavity in a transversely isotropic homogeneous elastic half space under all-around tension. The traction-free boundary conditions on the faces of the plane and on the cavity are satisfied with the aid of Hankel transforms and the Schmidt method, respectively. Numerical calculations are carried out for some practical materials.

Most of fracture analyses often require an accurate knowledge of the stress/displacement field over the investigated body. However, this can be sometimes problematic when only one (singular) term of the Williams expansion is considered. Therefore, also other terms should be taken into account. Such an approach, referred to as multi-parameter fracture mechanics is used and investigated in this paper. Its importance for short/long cracks and the influence of different boundary conditions are studied. It has been found out that higher-order terms of the Williams expansion can contribute to more precise description of the stress distribution near the crack tip especially for long cracks. Unfortunately, the dependences obtained from the analyses presented are not unambiguous and it cannot be strictly derived how many of the higher-order terms are sufficient.

ABSTRACT The mechanical behavior of some types of soils can be idealized by that of a “Locking Solid.” This paper investigates the spherical shock wave and the stress distribution behind the wave in a simple locking solid due to a sudden explosion at the surface of a small spherical cavity. The cases of infinitesimal and finite deformations are considered. The effect of an elastic shear resistance and the consequent phenomenon of “unlocking” are also studied.

Abstract An approximate solution for the distribution of stresses in a rotating prismatic shaft, of triangular cross section, is presented in this paper. A general method is employed which may be applied in obtaining approximate solutions for the stress distribution for rotating prismatic shapes, for the cases of either generalized plane stress or plane strain. Polynomials are used which exactly satisfy the biharmonic equation and the symmetry conditions, and which approximately satisfy the boundary conditions.

Abstract Several recent investigations suggest that portions of the Earth's upper mantle behave anisotropically to seismic wave propagation. Since several types of anisotropy can produce azimuthal variations in Pn velocities, it is of particular geophysical interest to provide a framework for the recognition of the form or forms of anisotropy most likely to be manifest in the upper mantle. In this paper upper mantle material is assumed to possess the elastic properties of transversely isotropic media. Equations are presented which relate azimuthal variations in Pn velocities to the direction and angle of tilt of the symmetry axis of a transversely isotropic upper mantle. It is shown that the velocity data of Raitt and Shor taken near the Mendocino and Molokai fracture zones can be adequately explained by the assumption of transverse isotropy with a nearly horizontal symmetry axis.

We have developed approximate nonhyperbolic P-wave moveout formulas applicable to weakly or moderately anisotropic media of arbitrary anisotropy symmetry and orientation. Instead of the commonly used Taylor expansion of the square of the reflection traveltime in terms of the square of the offset, we expand the square of the reflection traveltime in terms of weak-anisotropy (WA) parameters. No acoustic approximation is used. We specify the formulas designed for anisotropy of arbitrary symmetry for the transversely isotropic (TI) media with the axis of symmetry oriented arbitrarily in the 3D space. Resulting formulas depend on three P-wave WA parameters specifying the TI symmetry and two angles specifying the orientation of the axis of symmetry. Tests of the accuracy of the more accurate of the approximate formulas indicate that maximum relative errors do not exceed 0.3% or 2.5% for weak or moderate P-wave anisotropy, respectively.
