    Analysis of Elastic Anisotropy of Wood Material for Engineering Applications
    (2011) Dinçkal, Çiğdem
    This paper presents a convenient method to describe the degree of the elastic anisotropy in a given type of wood and then discusses its practical values. Besides mechanical and elastic behaviour of wood are investigated in order to understand the optimum mechanical behaviour of it in selected directions. Bounds on the wood elastic constants have been constructed in terms of elasticity and compliance tensors for any type of woods by developing Hill (1952) approach. So for any type of wood with known elastic constants, it is possible to choose the best set of elastic constants (effective elastic constants) which determine the optimum mechanical and elastic properties of it. Bounds on the wood elastic constants as well as the degree of elastic anisotropy are significant and critical cases in design of any engineering and structural materials made up of wood.

    Adaptation of generalized Hill inequalities to anisotropic elastic symmetries
    (2011) Dinçkal, Çiğdem
    Mechanical and elastic behaviors of anisotropic materials are investigated in an innovative way. This is based on generalized Hill inequalities. From different type of anisotropic elastic symmetries, numerical examples are given. Constructing bounds on effective eigenvalues provides a deeper understanding about mechanical behavior of anisotropic materials. Generalized Hill inequalities are adapted to all anisotropic elastic symmetries. The materials selected from the same symmetry type which have larger interval between the bounds, are more anisotropic whereas smaller interval between the bounds, are closer to isotropy. Besides it is proved that there are relations between bulk and shear modulus and eigenvalues of cubic and isotropic symmetry and by these relations, two linear invariants are found out.
