Conservation properties for plane deformations of isotropic and anisotropic linearly elastic strips (Q1330767): Difference between revisions

The authors have established two conservation properties of the stresses generated in an homogeneous anisotropic elastic strip occupying the space \(-\ell< x_1< \ell\), \(0< x_2<h\). The stress free conditions on the ends \(x_2=0\) and \(x_2=h\) are \(\tau_{22}= \tau_{12}=0\) for \(-\ell< x_1< \ell\). It is further assumed that the end conditions at \(x_1= \pm\ell\) are such that if the stress conditions at \(x_2=0\) and \(x_2=h\) are expressed in terms of the Airy stress function \(\varphi\), then, integrated with respect to \(x_1\), they reduce to \(\varphi (x_1, 0)= \varphi(x_1, h)= \varphi_{12} (x_1, 0)= \varphi_{12} (x_1, h)=0\). This actually is the case when the loads are self-equilibrated. Two conservation properties under the above conditions are \(\int^h_0[\beta_{11} \varphi^2_{,22}- \beta_{22} \varphi^2_{,11}- 2(\beta_{12}+ \beta_{66}) \varphi^2_{,12}+ 2\beta_{22} \varphi_{,1} \varphi_{,111}+ 4\beta_{26} \varphi_{,12} \varphi_{,11} ]dx_2= c_3\) and \(\int^h_0 [\beta_{11} \varphi^2_{,221}+ (2\beta_{12}+ \beta_{66}) \varphi^2_{,112}+ 2\beta_{11} \varphi_{,112} \varphi_{,222}- 4\beta_{16} \varphi_{,112} \varphi_{,122} ]dx_2= c_4\). These results can also be expressed in terms of stresses.
