Plastic anisotropy is a common property of many metallic materials. This property affects many aspects of structural analysis and design. In contrast to the isotropic case, there is a great variety of yield criteria proposed for anisotropic materials. Moreover, even if one specific yield criterion is selected, several constitutive parameters are involved in it. Therefore, parametric analysis of structures made of anisotropic materials is quite cumbersome. The present paper demonstrates the effect of the constitutive parameters involved in Hill’s quadratic yield criterion on the upper bound limit load for weld stretched overmatched tension specimens containing a crack of arbitrary shape, assuming that the crack is located inside the weld. Different sets of the constitutive parameters are involved in the yield criteria for weld and base materials. Since the limit load is an input parameter of many flaw assessment procedures, the final result of the present paper shows that it is necessary to take into account plastic anisotropy in these procedures. It is worthy of note that the limit load is involved in the flaw assessment procedures in combination with the stress and strain fields near the tip of a crack. In anisotropic materials, these fields may become non-symmetric even under symmetric loading. This behavior affects the propagation of cracks.

Anisotropic Elasticity offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of the analysis of anisotropic materials that can have up to twenty-one elastic constants. Focusing on the mathematically elegant and technically powerful Stroh formalism as a means to understanding the subject, the author tackles a broad range of key topics, including antiplane deformations, Green's functions, stress singularities in composite materials, elliptic inclusions, cracks, thermo-elasticity, and piezoelectric materials, among many others. Well written, theoretically rigorous, and practically oriented, the book will be welcomed by students and researchers alike.

Physical Ultrasonics of Composites is a rigorous introduction to the characterization of composite materials by means of ultrasonic waves. Composites are treated here not simply as uniform media, but as inhomogeneous layered anisotropic media with internal structure characteristic of composite laminates. The objective here is to concentrate on exposing the singular behavior of ultrasonic waves as they interact with layered, anisotropic materials, materials which incorporate those structural elements typical of composite laminates. This book provides a synergistic description of both modeling and experimental methods in addressing wave propagation phenomena and composite property measurements. After a brief review of basic composite mechanics, a thorough treatment of ultrasonics in anisotropic media is presented, along with composite characterization methods. The interaction of ultrasonic waves at interfaces of anisotropic materials is discussed, as are guided waves in composite plates and rods. Waves in layered media are developed from the standpoint of the "Stiffness Matrix", a major advance over the conventional, potentially unstable Transfer Matrix approach. Laminated plates are treated both with the stiffness matrix and using Floquet analysis. The important influence on the received electronic signals in ultrasonic materials characterization from transducer geometry and placement are carefully exposed in a dedicated chapter. Ultrasonic wave interactions are especially susceptible to such influences because ultrasonic transducers are seldom more than a dozen or so wavelengths in diameter. The book ends with a chapter devoted to the emerging field of air-coupled ultrasonics. This new technology has come of age with the development of purpose-built transducers and electronics and is finding ever wider applications, particularly in the characterization of composite laminates.

Abstract Several formulas for the eigenvalues $$\lambda _j$$ λ j of the Weyl transforms $$W_\sigma $$ W σ of symbols $$\sigma $$ σ given by radially symmetric distributions are derived. These yield criteria for the boundedness and the compactness, respectively, of the pseudo-differential operators $$W_\sigma .$$ W σ . We investigate some examples by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of $$\lambda _j$$ λ j for $$j\rightarrow \infty $$ j → ∞ .
