On optimal orientation of orthotropic materials

On optimal orientation of orthotropic materials In order to use an anisotropic material effectively it should be oriented optimally with respect to the actual strain condition. Orientations with extreme energy density are obtained for orthotropic materials. It is found that the optimal orientation depends on one non-dimensional material parameter only, plus the ratio of the two principal strains. Complete analytical results are derived, including local as well as global maxima and minima. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization Springer Journals

Abstract

In order to use an anisotropic material effectively it should be oriented optimally with respect to the actual strain condition. Orientations with extreme energy density are obtained for orthotropic materials. It is found that the optimal orientation depends on one non-dimensional material parameter only, plus the ratio of the two principal strains. Complete analytical results are derived, including local as well as global maxima and minima.
