A spheroidal inclusion is embedded in an elastic matrix composed of a different material. Both materials are transversely isotropic with the material property axes parallel to the geometric axis of the spheroid. At the interface, the two materials are bonded. The matrix is subjected to a uniform axisymmetric stress field at infinity. Explicit expressions for the stress and displacement fields in the inclusion and the matrix will be presented. The analysis is within the realm of classical linear elasticity.

Exact solutions are presented in closed form for the axisymmetric stress and displacement fields caused by a circular solid cylindrical inclusion with uniform eigenstrain in a transversely isotropic elastic solid. This is an extension of a previous paper for an isotropic elastic solid to a transversely isotropic solid. The strain energy is also shown. The method of Green’s functions is used. The numerical results for stress distributions are compared with those for an isotropic elastic solid.

To understand the dynamic response of transversely isotropic material under explosion load, the analysis is done with the help of ABAQUS software and the constitutive equations of transversely isotropic material with different angle of isotropic section. The result is given: when the angle of isotropic section is settled, the velocity and acceleration of measure points decrease with the increasing distance from the explosion borehole. The velocity and acceleration in the loading direction are larger than those in the normal direction of the loading direction and their attenuation are much faster. When the angle of isotropic section is variable, the evolution curves of peak velocity and peak acceleration in the loading direction with the increasing angles are notching parabolic curves. They get their minimum values when the angle is equal to 45 degree. But the evolution curves of peak velocity and peak acceleration in the normal direction of the loading direction with the increasing angles are overhead parabolic curves. They get their maximum values when the angle is equal to 45 degree.

Elastic-plastic transitional stresses in a transversely isotropic thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure and steady-state temperature have been derived by using Seth's transition theory. The combined effects of pressure and temperature has been presented graphically and discussed. It has been observed that at room temperature, thick-walled cylinder made of isotropic material yields at a high pressure at the internal surface as compared to cylinder made of transversely isotropic material. With the introduction of thermal effects isotropic/transversely isotropic cylinder yields at a lower pressure whereas cylinder made of isotropic material requires less percentage increase in pressure to become fully-plastic from its initial yielding as compared to cylinder made of transversely isotropic material.
