Distance to plane elasticity orthotropy by Euler–Lagrange method
Distance to plane elasticity orthotropy by Euler–Lagrange method
Constitutive tensors are of common use in mechanics of materials. Determining the relevant symmetry class of an experimental tensor is still a tedious problem. For instance, it requires numerical methods in three-dimensional elasticity. We address here the more affordable case of plane (2D) elasticity, which has not been fully solved …
