Abstract

It is well-known that the constitutive equation of elastic materials not supporting tension has a unique solution ([2],[5]). For isotropic materials it is easy to calculate the solution for the constitutive equation, as the material’s elastic constants and the deformation tensor vary. On the contrary,the study of anisotropic materials is more complex. The aim of this paper is to propose a method for calculating the solution for transversely isotropic materials,which can be used in the case of plane strain state.
