14 Stress-strain relations for linear elastic Transversely Isotropic Material

A special case of an orthotropic solid is one that contains a plane of isotropy (this implies that the solid can be rotated with respect to the loading direction about one axis without measurable effect on the solids response). Choose requires that , , so that the stiffness matrix has the form perpendicular to this symmetry plane. Then, transverse isotropy , ,

The engineering constants must satisfy

and the compliance matrix has the form

where before the Poissons ratios are not symmetric, but satisfy

As

The engineering constants and stiffnesses are related by

For this material the two thermal expansion coefficients in the symmetry plane must be equal, so the thermal expansion coefficient tensor has the form
