Granite rock is reported to have three orthogonal anistoropic planes i.e., rift, grain induced by microcrack characteristics and mineral arrangement. We investigated the influence of thus fabric anisotropy in granite on elastic wave properties using free-free resonance test to obtain unconstrained compression wave velocity, shear velocity, Poisson ratio and damping ratio. As a result, Rod wave velocity is more dependent on anisotropy of granite due to microcrack distribution than shear wave velocity. In addition, anisotropy of Poisson ratio and damping ratio is also observed with respect to three anisotropic planes.

The elastic buckling strength of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) pipe reinforced with ribs was evaluated. The height and thickness of a rib and the spacing between two adjacent ribs were considered as factors affecting the buckling strength of the pipe. And also, the ratio of the longitudinal stiffness and transverse stiffness was considered as the parameter affecting the buckling strength as the GFRP is orthotropic material. Buckling strengths of various GFRP pipe models with different shapes and stiffness ratios were evaluated by FE analyses and a formula to estimate the elastic buckling strength of a rib-reinforced pipe made of orthotropic material was suggested from the regression with the results from the FE analysis. Analytical results show that a rib-reinforced pipe has a buckling strength superior to a general flat pipe and the suggested formula estimates accurate buckling strength of the rib-reinforced pipe.

In the uniaxial compressive test of a single specimen of transversely isotropic rock, its 5 independent elastic constants can not be defined since maximum 4 independent strain measurements are available theoretically. In order to solve this problem, one equation proposed by Saint Venant in 19C and confirmed by Lekhnitskii through the test experiences has been used for long time. Accordign to authors' experiences, however, this equation turned out to give erroneous elastic constants in some cases. Three new equations are suggested and their compatibilities are discussed in this paper. As the results of the analyses of the models, Lekhnitskii's suggested equation is effective for the specimen with the high dip angle whereas it results in the large erred output for that with dip angle less than $25{\sim}30$. It was found that the effectivenesses of three suggested equations and their compatibilities are subject to the dip angle and not to the amounts of elastic constants. Guide map to the selection of the compatible one of those suggested equations is presented as a result of the study.

Anisotropic characteristics of deformation are important to understand the particular behavior in the pre-failure state of soils. Recent experiments show that cross-anisotropic moduli of granular soils can be expressed by functions of normal stresses in the corresponding directions, which is closely linked to micromechanical characteristics of particles. Granular soils are composed of a number of particles so that the force-displacement relationship at each contact point governs the macroscopic stress-strain relationship. Therefore, the micromechanical approach in which the deformation of granular soils is regarded as a mutual interaction between particle contacts is one of the best ways to investigate the anisotropic elastic deformation of soils. In this study, a numerical program based on the theory of micromechanics is developed. Generalized contact model for the irregular contact surface of soil particles is adopted to represent the force-displacement relationship in each contact point far the realistic prediction of anisotropic moduli. To evaluate the model parameters, a set of analytical solutions of anisotropic elastic moduli is derived in the isotropic stress condition. A detailed procedure to determine the model parameters is proposed with emphasis on the practical applicability of micromechanical program to analyze the elastic behavior of the granular soils.

In this study, the analytical investigation of orthotropic rectangular plate is presented. The loaded edges are assumed to be simply supported and the unloaded edges could have elastically restrained boundary conditions including the extreme boundary condition such as simple, fixed, and free. Using the closed-form solutions, the buckling analyses of orthotropic plate with arbitrary boundary conditions are performed. Based on the data obtained by conducting numerical analysis, the simplified form of equation for finding the buckling coefficient of plate with elastically restrained boundary conditions at the unloaded edges is suggested as a function of aspect ratio, elastic restraint. and material properties of the plate. The results of buckling analyses by closed-form solution and simplified form of solution are compared for various orthotropic material properties. It is confirmed that the difference of results is less than 1.5%.

To materialize the magnetoelastic devices, such as a highly functional sensor and a signal processing device, using the Fe base amorphous film which has both excellent soft magnetic and magnetostrictive properties, in this study, a new method to control the magnetic anisotropy of a highly magnetostrictive film using bias stress has been proposed and tested. The film pattern, which was stressed by its substrate bending, was subjected to annealing for relieving its stress. Successively, the compressive stress occurred by flattening the substrate was formed in the pattern. With the introduction of the residual compressive stress, the magnetization of the film pattern was aligned in the transverse direction through magnetoelasic coupling. The magnetic domain structure and magnetization curve of the film pattern of which magnetic anisotropy was controlled by the proposed method were presented to verify the availability of the method.

Recent work in the mechanics of fracture points out the desirability of a knowledge of the elastic energy release rate, the crack extension force, and the character of the stress field surrounding a crack tip in analyzing the strength of cracked bodies. The objective of this work is to provide a discussion of the energy rates, stress fields and the like of various cases for anisotropic elastic bodies which might be of interest. Reinforced concrete, wood, laminates, and some special types of elastic bodies with controlled grain orientation are often orthotropic. In this paper, determination of the stress intensity factors(SIFs) of orthotropic plane elastic body using crack tip singular element and fine mesh in near the crack tip is performed. A numerical method in this paper was used by displacement correlation method. A numerical example problem of an orthotropic cantilevered single edge cracked elastic body subjected to shear loading was analyzed, and the results of this paper are in good agreement with those of the others.
