The conditions for equilibrium in an elastically stressed hexagonal aeolotropic medium (transversely isotropic) are formulated, and solutions are found in terms of two ‘harmonic’ functions ø1, ø2, which are solutions ofν1, ν2 being the roots of a certain quadratic equation.It is also shown that in the case of axially symmetrical stress systems the solution may be expressed in terms of the third-order differential coefficients of a single stress function Φ.The solutions for an isotropic medium may be deduced as a special case.The problems of nuclei of strain in such a hexagonal solid are solved, and the results for zinc and magnesium contrasted with those for an isotropic solid.

Three-dimensional stress distributions in hexagonal aeolotropic materials have recently been considered by Elliott(1, 2), who obtained a general solution of the elastic equations of equilibrium in terms of two ‘harmonic’ functions, or, in the case of axially symmetric stress distributions, in terms of a single stress function. These stress functions are analogous to the stress functions employed to define stress systems in isotropic materials, and in the present note further problems in hexagonal aeolotropic media are solved, the method in each case being similar to that used for the corresponding problem in isotropic materials. Because of this similarity detailed explanations are unnecessary and only the essential steps in the working are given below.

In this paper we discuss the flexure of an incomplete tore in the plane of its circular centre-line. We reduce the problem to the determination of two harmonic functions, subject to boundary conditions on the surface of the tore which involve the first two derivatives of the functions. We point out the relation of this solution to the general solution of three-dimensional elasticity problems. The special case of a narrow rectangular cross-section is solved exactly in Appendix II.

We use the compact harmonic general solutions of transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic materials to construct the three-dimensional Green’s function of a steady point heat source on the surface of a semi-infinite transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic material by four newly introduced harmonic functions. All components of the coupled field are expressed in terms of elementary functions and are convenient to use. Numerical results for cadmium selenide are given graphically by contours.

Three-dimensional fatigue failure criteria for unidirectional fiber composites under states of cyclic stress are established in terms of quadratic stress polynomials which are expressed in terms of the transversely isotropic invariants of the cyclic stress. Two distinct fatigue failure modes, fiber mode, and matrix mode, are modeled separately. Material information needed for the failure criteria are the S-N curves for single stress components. A preliminary approach to incorporate scatter into the failure criteria is presented.

An approximate solution to the Navier equations of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for an axisymmetric orthotopic circular cylinder subjected to internal and external pressure, axial loads, and closely spaced periodic radial loads is developed. Numerical comparison with the exact solution for the special case of a transversely isotropic cylinder subjected to periodic band loads shows that very good accuracy is obtainable. When the results of the approximate solution are compared with previously obtained results of a Flu¨gge-type shell solution of a ring-reinforced orthotropic cylinder, it is found that the shell theory gives fairly accurate representations of the deformations and stresses except in the neighborhood of discontinuous loads. The addition of transverse shear deformations does not improve the accuracy of the shell solution.

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.

I have read with much interest Professor Tait's “Note on Determinants of the Third Order” in the Proceedings of this Session (pp. 59–61), and admire the method of discovering new properties of Determinants. I am not sure, however, that the properties, when discovered, are more difficult of proof by Determinant methods, and I venture to submit the following as simple and elementary:—The first property, namely,is true under greater generality, and the Determinant proof is the same as for the special case.

In this paper, we are interested in a technique for solving some nonlinear rational systems of difference equations of third order, in three-dimensional case as a special case of the following system: x n + 1 = y n z n − 1 / y n ± x n − 2 , y n + 1 = z n x n − 1 / z n ± y n − 2 ,  and  z n + 1 = x n y n − 1 / x n ± z n − 2 with initial conditions x − 2 , x − 1 , x 0 , y − 2 , y − 1 , y 0 , z − 2 , z − 1 ,  and  z 0 are nonzero real numbers. Moreover, we study some behavior of the systems such as the boundedness of solutions for such systems. Finally, we present some numerical examples by giving some numerical values for the initial values of each case. Some figures have been given to explain the behavior of the obtained solutions in the case of numerical examples by using the mathematical program MATLAB to confirm the obtained results.
