Mechanical Property Tests for Cylindrically Orthotropic Materials

Abstract
Experiments for the determination of the elastic properties of cylindrically orthotropic materials are suggested. Analyses, which neglect end effects, are presented for the tests, consideration is given to the importance of this approximation. Because of the cylindrical orthotropy two of the tests even in the absence of end effects result in very complicated strain states; a special procedure is presented for the interpretation of the results of these tests. Lastly, for a particular cylin drically orthotropic material an example of the application of the interpretation procedure is presented.
