Three-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element formulation based on the membrane theory was described and a computer program for large deformation analysis was developed. In the formulation, normal and planar anisotropy of sheet material and rotation of the principal axes of anisotropy was taken into consideration. Sheet metal was assumed to be rigid-plastic material obeying Hill's quadratic yield criterion and its associated flow rule. Deep drawing process, as a preliminary test, for normal anisotropic material was analyzed in order to examine the validity of developed finite element program. The results were consistent with the existing finite element solutions or experimental data. The present study was mainly concerned with the influence of planar anisotropy on deformation behaviour. Finite element analysis and experiment were carried out for the whole process of deep drawing of planar anisotropic material. The computational and experimental results on the shape of ear, strain distribution and punch load were in good agreement.

Tape-wrapped structures have been generally used in nozzle parts of guided missiles. A continuous band of woven composite material is wrapped around a mandrel that is designed to produce real products. After going through a vacuum bagging process, this woven composite material is cured in a high-pressure autoclave or hydroclave. However, tape-wrapped structures are difficult to analyze because of its large thickness and inclined lay-up. The present study investigates the method of analysis and failure prediction of tape-wrapped structures. The four-point bending test and its finite element analysis were performed to study how to model tape-wrapped structures and investigate their failure characteristics.

Polyethylenes were reinforced with short aramid fibers on an open roll. Fiber orientation and the anisotropy of physical property were studied using scanning electron microscopy and tensile tester, together with the melt properties from an RDS rheometer. It was found that fiber orientation was obtained in roll operation, and the anisotropy of property became greater with the increase of fiber loading. Melt viscosity measurements indicated that the viscosity increases with fiber loading, with the effect much more pronounced at low loading and low frequency.

This paper describes anisotropic etching technology of highly doped polysilicon. The main etching gases are $Cl_2$ and $SiCl_4$ for reactive ion etching of polysilicon. The mixed $CHCl_3$ to main etching gas makes polymer on etching side wall, so it prevents side etching of polysilicon. The etch rate of polysilicon is increased with increasing RF power. But the etching rate is decreased as the flow rate of $CHCl_3$ is increased with fixed RF power. The etch selectivity of polysilicon and $SiO_2$ is about 12:1. And that of polysilicon and $Si_3N_4$ is about 19:1. In the main etching gas condition, the slope of polysilicon is same as that of photoresist. But in the mixed $CHCl_3$ condition, the slope of polysilicon is larger than that of photoresist. This represents that the polymer made on side wall by added $CHCl_3$ prevents side etching, so anisotropic etching can be possible by polymer.

A progressive failure analysis procedure for composite laminates is developed in here and in the companion paper. An anisotropic plastic constitutive model for fiber-reinforced composite material, is developed, which is simple and efficient to be implemented into computer program for a predictive analysis procedure of composites. In current development of the constitutive model, an incremental elastic-plastic constitutive model is adopted to represent progressively the nonlinear material behavior of composite materials until a material failure is predicted. An anisotropic initial yield criterion is established that includes the effects of different yield strengths in each material direction, and between tension and compression. Anisotropic work-hardening model and subsequent yield surface are developed to describe material behavior beyond the initial yield under the general loading condition. The current model is implemented into a computer code, which is Predictive Analysis for Composite Structures (PACS), and is presented in the companion paper. The accuracy and efficiency of the anisotropic plastic constitutive model are verified by solving a number of various fiber-reinforced composite laminates with and without geometric discontinuity. The comparisons of the numerical results to the experimental and other numerical results available in the literature indicate the validity and efficiency of the developed model.

As the application of the MEMS parts increases, the structural safety of MEMS appears importantly. A lot of MEMS parts are made by a multi-grain silicon wafer, which is an orthotropic material. Moreover directions of the materials on each grain are distributed randomly. The stress analysis for the multi-grain is important factor in order to apply the MEMS parts to industrial applications. The finite element method (FEM) is commonly used by a stress analysis method but the boundary element method (BEM) is known as the result of the BEM is more accurate than that of the FEM since the fundamental solution are used. In this study, we derived the boundary integration equation for the orthotropic material by applying fundamental solutions with complex variables. The multi-region analysis procedure for the BEM and the multi-grain generation procedure by a random process technique are developed in order to apply the analysis of the multi-grain orthotropic material. The discontinuous element is used in order to remove the comer problem in the BEM. The results of the present method are compared with those of the finite element method in order to verify the present procedure.

The accurate analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering plays an important role in many aspects of nondestructive evaluation. A numerical analysis makes it possible to perform parametric studies, and in this way the probability of detection and reliability of test results can be improved. In this paper, a finite element method was employed for the analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation in anisotropic materials, and the accuracy of results was checked by comparing with analytical predictions. The element size and the integral time step, which are the critical components for the convergence of finite element solutions, were determined using a commercial finite element code. Some differences for wave propagation in anisotropic media were illustrated when plane waves are propagating in a unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. When plane waves are propagating in nonsymmetric directions in a symmetric plane, deviation angles between the wave vector and the energy vector were found from finite element analyses and the results agreed well with analytical calculations.

In this study, analytical investigations on the flexural behavior of FRP reinforced concrete slab were discussed. In the derivation of analytic solution, the FRP reinforced concrete slab was modeled as a structural orthotropic plate. To determine the flexural rigidities of an orthotropic plate model, the elastic equivalence method was employed. In the finite element analysis, the approximate method to determine the rigidity matrix of orthotropic plate element was also suggested using the elastic equivalence method. The results obtained by the analytical solution and the finite element analysis were compared with that of experiment.
