Saint-Venant torsion of non-homogeneous orthotropic circular cylinder

Abstract

AbstractThe object of this paper is the Saint-Venant torsion of a radially non-homogeneous, hollow and solid circular cylinder made of orthotropic piezoelectric material. The elastic stiffness coefficients, piezoelectric constants and dielectric constants have only radial dependence. This paper gives the solution of the Saint-Venant torsion problem for torsion function, electric potential function, Prandtl’s stress function and electric displacement potential function.
