Theory of Elasticity and Consolidation for a Porous Anisotropic Solid

TLDR

The authors previously developed a theory of elasticity and consolidation for isotropic materials. This work extends that theory to anisotropic solids. The authors employ a more direct derivation method. They discuss transverse isotropy and complete isotropy as special cases. Published in J.

Abstract

The author's previous theory of elasticity and consolidation for isotropic materials [J. Appl. Phys. 12, 155–164 (1941)] is extended to the general case of anisotropy. The method of derivation is also different and more direct. The particular cases of transverse isotropy and complete isotropy are discussed.
