ORIENTATIONAL DESIGN OF NONORTHOTROPIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS

摘要

A linear elastic nonorthotropic two-dimensional material with six independent elastic parameters is considered. Different criteria for comparison of constitutive matrices, which may be mutually rotated, are discussed. Optimal material orientations of a nonorthotropic material, which correspond to extreme values of the energy density, are determined. The results obtained are extended to some nonlinear elastic material models.
