Stress concentration around a circular rigid inclusion in incompressible nonlinearly elastic transversely isotropic and orthotropic thin sheets under uniaxial extension

Abstract

In this paper, we study the stress concentration around a circular rigid inclusion in an incompressible anisotropic homogeneous nonlinearly elastic thin sheet subjected to in-plane finite deformation uniaxial extension. Two classes of material symmetry are considered: transverse isotropy and orthotropy. For the case of transverse isotropy, a three-parameter constitutive relation that under infinitesimal deformations reduces appropriately to the classical incompressible linearized elastic transversely isotropic constitutive relation is studied. Similarly, a six-parameter constitutive relation is considered for the case of orthotropic material symmetry. These constitutive relations may be suitable to describe the response of transversely isotropic and orthotropic bodies subjected to moderate deformations.
