Engineering Constants for Transversely Isotropic Elastic Solid 309
The relations between C« and the engineering constants can be obtained to be [See Prob. 5.88]
and
where
From Eq. (5.29.2), it can be obtained easily (See Prob. 5.89)
According to this Eq. (5.29.1), if Ty$ is the only nonzero stress component, then
Thus, £3 is the Young's modulus in the €3 direction (the direction of the axis of transverse
isotropy), v 31 is the Poisson's ratio for the transverse train in the jq or*2 direction when
stressed in the x^ direction.
