Anisotropic materials

This study focuses mainly on the normal stresses that are caused by applied forces. As a case study, the present work aims at investigating the bi-dimensional contact mechanics of wavy cosinusoidal anisotropic finite planes. To achieve this objective, results on the displacement and stress component are first calculated with the help of the Lekhnitskii formalism.

In addition, we also show that our present solutions are valid for the problems of indentation by a rigid punch on an elastic half-space through a proper replacement of the contact radius and the corresponding material constant. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy, applicability, and versatility of the developed solutions.

The dissertation focuses on experimental evaluating the purely elastic and viscoelastic material parameters of proposed models via some standard experiments on relaxation, such as simple tension, pure shear and biaxial tensile tests. Both the isotropic and anisotropic materials were tested.
