Auxetic laminates composed of plies with special orthotropy
Paolo Vannucci
This paper focuses on the conditions for obtaining auxetic, i.e. with a negative Poisson's ratio, composite laminates made of specially orthotropic layers. In particular, the layer…
Elastic bounds of the coupling tensor of anisotropic composite laminates: a polar approach
P. Vannucci
In the equivalent single layer theories of anisotropic laminates, the coupling tensor B describes the relation between the in- and out-of plane behavior of the plate. This tensor h…
Optimizing the auxetic behavior of anisotropic laminates
Paolo Vannucci
Anisotropic laminates with a negative Poisson's ratio for at least some directions are called auxetic. In this paper, we consider the conditions for optimizing the auxeticity of an…
Anisotropic auxetic composite laminates: a polar approach
Paolo Vannucci
The problem of obtaining anisotropic auxetic composite laminates, i.e. having a negative Poisson's ratio for at least some directions, is examined in this paper. In particular, the…
Complete set of bounds for the technical moduli in 3D anisotropic elasticity
Paolo Vannucci
The paper addresses the problem of finding the necessary and sufficient conditions to be satisfied by the engineering moduli of an anisotropic material for the elastic energy to be…
