Anisotropic Elasticity , 1st ed. 2018 Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics Series, Vol. 85

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.

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