The displacement and stress function fields of straight dislocations and lines forces are derived based on three-dimensional anisotropic incompatible elasticity. Using the two-dimensional anisotropic Green tensor of generalized plane strain, a Burgers-like formula for straight dislocations and body forces is derived and its relation to the solution of the displacement and stress function fields in the integral formalism is given. Moreover, the stress functions of a point force are calculated and the relation to the potential of a Dirac string is pointed out.

abstract Rigidity matrices for multi-layered media are derived for isotropic and orthotropic layers by a simple direct procedure which brings to light their fundamental mathematical structure. The method was introduced many years ago by the author in the more general context of dynamics and stability of multi-layers under initial stress. Other earlier results are also briefly recalled such as the derivation of three-dimensional solutions from plane strain modes, the effect of initial stresses, gravity, and couple stresses for thinly laminated layers. The extension of the same mathematical structure and symmetry to viscoelastic media is valid as a consequence of fundamental principles in linear irreversible thermodynamics.

The radial tire belt is composed of multi-layered fiber-reinforced cords with a very complex structure. Restricted by the computing speed, the simplified finite element (FE) tire model with equivalent belt is usually applied in the vehicle dynamic simulation. However, it is always difficult to obtain the material parameters of the equivalent belt. In this paper, a calculation method of equivalent belt material parameters for the simplified FE tire model is proposed based on the three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropic elasticity of the cord reinforced composites. The simulation results of the static radial stiffness, modal characteristics, and dynamic responses for the simplified FE tire model with parameters obtained by the calculation method were compared with experiment results. The results show that the deviation between the experiment and simulation is acceptable, and the validity of the calculation method is verified.

In this chapter we study Stroh's sextic formalism for two-dimensional deformations of an anisotropic elastic body. The Stroh formalism can be traced to the work of Eshelby, Read, and Shockley (1953). We therefore present the latter first. Not all results presented in this chapter are due to Stroh (1958, 1962). Nevertheless we name the sextic formalism after Stroh because he laid the foundations for researchers who followed him. The derivation of Stroh's formalism is rather simple and straightforward. The general solution resembles that obtained by the Lekhnitskii formalism. However, the resemblance between the two formalisms stops there. As we will see in the rest of the book, the Stroh formalism is indeed mathematically elegant and technically powerful in solving two-dimensional anisotropic elasticity problems. The possibility of extending the formalism to three-dimensional deformations is explored in Chapter 15.

In this study, effects of typical texture components observed in rolled aluminum alloy sheets (i.e. Copper, Brass, S, Cube and Goss texture components) on plastic flow localization are studied. The material response is described by a generalized Taylor-type polycrystal model, in which each grain is characterized in terms of an elastic-viscoplastic continuum slip constitutive relation. First, forming limits of thin sheet set by sheet necking are predicted using a Marciniak–Kuczynski (M–K-) type approach. It is shown that only the Cube texture component yields forming limits higher than that for a random texture in the biaxial stretch range. Next, three-dimensional shear band analyses are performed, using a three-dimensional version of M–K-type model, but the overall deformation mode is restricted to a plane strain state. From this simple model analysis, two important quantities regarding shear band formation are obtained: i.e. the critical strain at the onset of shear banding and the corresponding orientation of shear band. It is concluded that the Cube texture component is said to be a shear band free texture, while some texture components exhibit significantly low resistance to shear band formation. Finally, shear band developments in plane strain pure bending of sheet specimens with the typical textures are studied.

Thermal stresses in a layered electrical assembly joined with solder are computed with plane strain, generalized plane strain, and three-dimensional (3D) finite element models to assess the accuracy of the two-dimensional (2D) modeling assumptions. Cases in which the solder is treated as an elastic and as a creeping material are considered. Comparison of the various solutions shows that, away from the corners, the generalized plane strain model produces residual stresses that are identical to those computed with the 3D model. Although the generalized plane strain model cannot capture corner stresses, the maximum stresses computed with this 2D model are, for the mesh discretization used, within 12 percent of the corner stresses computed with the 3D model when the solder is modeled elastically and within 5 percent when the solder is modeled as a creeping material. Plane strain is not a valid assumption for predicting thermal stresses, especially when creep of the solder is modeled. The effect of cooling rate on the residual stresses computed with creep models is illustrated.

Elastic-plastic crack front fields in arc-shaped tension specimens (C-specimens) were analyzed by a three-dimensional finite element method. The effect of side grooves on the ductile fracture behavior was investigated by studying the J-integral distribution, plane-strain constraint parameter, and development of plastic zones and comparing to experimental data. The applicability of the η factor (derived for use with compact tension specimens) for the calculation of J-integral values for the C-specimen was also investigated. The results show that side grooves promote and establish near plane strain conditions at the crack front in sub-size specimens. It was also found that a two-dimensional plane-strain analysis in conjunction with the standard American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) tests was sufficient to determine the fracture toughness values from side-grooved C-specimen. The results indicate the η factor for compact tension specimen as specified in the ASTM standards appears to produce reliable results for the calculation of J of C-specimens.
