| Abstract: | This paper is concerned with the linear theory of anisotropic porous elastic bodies. The extension and bending of orthotropic
porous elastic cylinders subjected to a plane temperature field is investigated. The work is motivated by the recent interest
in the using of the orthotropic porous elastic solid as model for bones and various engineering materials. First, the thermoelastic
deformation of inhomogeneous beams whose constitutive coefficients are independent of the axial coordinate is studied. Then,
the extension and bending effects in orthotropic cylinders reinforced by longitudinal rods are investigated. The three-dimensional
problem is reduced to the study of two-dimensional problems. The method is used to solve the problem of an orthotropic porous
circular cylinder with a special kind of inhomogeneity. |
