Micromechanics of Anisotropic Solids with Defects and Inhomogeneities

Abstract

The research effort was focused on the mechanics of anisotropic solids with multiple cracks and pores. The most general case of arbitrary oriented and interacting defects was investigated. The following basic aspects of the problem were addressed: (1) the influence of anisotropy of the matrix on the mechanics of crack interactions; (2) effective elastic properties of anisotropic materials with multiple cracks; (3) mechanics of crack-microcrack interactions; and (4) mechanics of anisotropic materials with multiple elliptical holes.
