Though anisotropic linearelasticitytheorycould be used, a much more complicated model would result, which would address neither (a) nor (b) above.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These shortcomings could be addressed only by resorting to a fully nonlinear anisotropicelasticitytheory, whose attendant difficulties would seriously hinder any further analysis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Energy principles andelasticitytheoryreceived the most substantial modifications.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Linearelasticitytheorypredicts that stress (and hence the strain) at the tip of a sharp flaw in a linear elastic material is infinite.
