Extract

In an earlier paper [2] by the present writer, a solution of the equations of elasticity in complete aeolotropy was found under the assumption that the stresses and therefore the strains are linear in the third cartesian coordinate z. In the present paper, the solution is extended to the case where the stresses and therefore the strains are polynomials in z. This provides a wider scope of applications to the problem of elastic equilibrium of a completely aeolotropic cylinder under resultant end forces and couples and a general distribution of tractions on the lateral surface of the cylinder. These tractions may take any form consistent with the elastic equilibrium of the cylinder, provided they are polynomials of any degree in z. Of the many applications of the present theory, Luxenberg [1] considered the very particular case of torsion of a cylinder made up of a material having a plane of elastic symmetry, under a constant lateral loading.
