Anisotropic Elasticity

This book presents a modern and unconventional introduction to anisotropy. The first part presents a general description of Anisotropic Elasticity theories while the second part focuses on the polar formalism: the theoretical bases and results are completely developed along with applications to design problems of laminated anisotropic structures. The book is based on lectures on anisotropy which have been held at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris.

List of contents

Basic Concepts of Anisotropy.- General Anisotropic Elasticity.- Plane Anisotropic Elasticity.- The Polar Formalism.- Anisotropic Laminates.- Design problems and methods of anisotropic structures.

About the author

Paolo Vannucci is Professor of Mechanics at the LMV - Laboratoire de Mathématiques de

Versailles, University of Versailles and Saint-Quentin. His main research activities concern plane

anisotropic elasticity and multiphysics problems, optimization methods for anisotropic structures,

metaheuristics for structural optimization, mechanics of no-tension materials applied to the study of

monumental structures.
