The study of drying process in soils has received an increased attention in the last few years. This is very complex phenomenon that generally leads to the formation and propagation of desiccation cracks in the soil mass. ...

Wood is generally considered an anisotropic material. In terms of engineering elastic models, wood is usually treated as an orthotropic material. This paper presents an analysis of two principal anisotropic elastic models ...

As it is known, laminated composite materials are increasingly used in many technological applications, and in some instance, cutouts must be made into laminated panels for practical reasons, changing the stress distribution. ...

Objetivo: Evaluar los tejidos dentoalveolares a largo plazo en pacientes tratados con la terapia Orthotropic. Materiales y Métodos: se evaluaron radiografías cefalométricas de 30 pacientes que recibieron terapia Orthotropic ...

The approximate solution for the title problem is obtained in the case of simply supported and clamped rectangular plates made of isotropic or orthotropic materials. A variational approach (the well known Rayleigh-Ritz ...
