Efficient evaluation of three-dimensional Green's functions in anisotropic elastostatic multilayered composites (Q1614504)

Using a novel and computationally efficient approach, the paper derives the complete set of Green's functions in anisotropic, elastostatic multilayered composites, including displacements, stresses and their derivatives with respect to source coordinates. For the first time the Green's functions are expressed as a sum of a special solution and a general-part solution. As an example the Green's functions are evaluated in a five-layered orthotropic plate.
