Anisotropic Elastic Plates

This book covers plane problems, plate bending problems as well as stretching-bending coupling problems. It details the theory of anisotropic elasticity, examines several important subjects, and collects over one hundred problems and solutions.

As structural elements, anisotropic elastic plates find wide applications in modern technology. The plates here are considered to be subjected to not only inplane load but also transverse load. In other words, both plane and plate bending problems as well as the stretching-bending coupling problems are all explained in this book.

In addition to the introduction of the theory of anisotropic elasticity, several important subjects have are discussed in this book such as interfaces, cracks, holes, inclusions, contact problems, piezoelectric materials, thermoelastic problems and boundary element analysis.

Connects topics in a systematic approach, such as anisotropic elasticity, mechanics of composite materials and boundary element analysis, unlike previous books on this subject Provides a collection of problem solutions for engineers and scientists to understand derivation details Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Anisotropic Elastic Plates find wide applications as structural elements in modern technology. The plates are considered to be subjected to not only inplane loads but also transverse loads. Plane problems, plate bending problems as well as stretching-bending coupling problems are all treated in this book. In addition to the introduction of the theory of anisotropic elasticity that includes two complex variable methods - Lekhnitiskii formalism and Stroh formalism- several important subjects are also discussed such as wedges, interfaces, cracks, holes, inclusions, contact problems, piezoelectric materials, thermal stresses and boundary element analysis.

Anisotropic Elastic Plates also collects over one hundred problems and solutions. This book is a useful resource for engineers and researchers in composite materials.
