Elastic deformation of composite cylinders with cylindrically orthotropic layers

This paper provides explicit analytical expressions for displacement and stress fields in a multilayered composite cylinder with cylindrically orthotropic layers subjected to homogeneous boundary conditions. The solutions are derived in the assumption of perfect bonding between layers. The components of displacement, strain and stress are expressed in terms of the integration constants found from boundary conditions by utilizing the transfer matrix approach. Several examples are considered. The approach is validated by comparing with previously known solutions.
