CHAPTER 1
Theory of an Anisotropic Elastic Continuum
1.1 INTRODUCTION
WITH THE INCREASED use of composite materials in structural applications has come a need for the analysis of laminated anisotropic plates. This chapter provides the fundamental principles of anisotropic elasticity from which laminated plate theory is developed in the following two chapters. Much of the presentation on anisotropic elasticity is based on the works of Lekhnitskii [1] and Hearmon [2]. A detailed derivation of the theory of finite deformations can be found in Fung [3].
