Rock masses with a distinct structure may present a transversely isotropic character; thus, the stress state in a transversely isotropic elastic half-plane surface is an important way to assess the behavior of the interaction between the distributed loading and the surroundings. Most previous theoretical analyses have considered a loading direction that is either vertical or horizontal, and the stress distribution that results from the effect of different loading directions remains unclear. In this paper, based on the transversely isotropic elastic half-plane surface theory, a stress solution that is applicable to distributed loading in any direction is proposed to further examine the loading effect. The consistency between the analytical solution and numerical simulations showed the effectiveness of the proposal that was introduced. Then, it was utilized to analyze the stress distribution rule by changing the Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus of the model. The effects of the formation dip angle on the stress state are also examined. The stress distribution, depending on the physical property parameters and relative angle, is predicted using an analytical solution, and the mechanisms associated with the transversely isotropic elastic half-plane surface subjected to the loading in any direction are clarified. Additionally, extensive analyses regarding this case study, with respect to the mechanical behavior associated with changes in the stress boundary, is available. Hence, the proposed analytical solution can more realistically account for the loading problem in many engineering practices.

The transversely isotropic poroelastic wave equation can be formulated to include the Biot and the squirt‐flow mechanisms to yield a new analytical solution in terms of the elements of the squirt‐flow tensor. The new model gives estimates of the vertical and the horizontal permeabilities, as well as other measurable rock and fluid properties. In particular, the model estimates phase velocity and attenuation of waves traveling at different angles of incidence with respect to the principal axis of anisotropy. The attenuation and dispersion of the fast quasi P‐wave and the quasi SV‐wave are related to the vertical and the horizontal permeabilities. Modeling suggests that the attenuation of both the quasi P‐wave and quasi SV‐wave depend on the direction of permeability. For frequencies from 500 to 4500 Hz, the quasi P‐wave attenuation will be of maximum permeability. To test the theory, interwell seismic waveforms, well logs, and hydraulic conductivity measurements (recorded in the fluvial Gypsy sandstone reservoir, Oklahoma) provide the material and fluid property parameters. For example, the analysis of petrophysical data suggests that the vertical permeability (1 md) is affected by the presence of mudstone and siltstone bodies, which are barriers to vertical fluid movement, and the horizontal permeability (1640 md) is controlled by cross‐bedded and planar‐laminated sandstones. The theoretical dispersion curves based on measurable rock and fluid properties, and the phase velocity curve obtained from seismic signatures, give the ingredients to evaluate the model. Theoretical predictions show the influence of the permeability anisotropy on the dispersion of seismic waves. These dispersion values derived from interwell seismic signatures are consistent with the theoretical model and with the direction of propagation of the seismic waves that travel parallel to the maximum permeability. This analysis with the new analytical solution is the first step toward a quantitative evaluation of the preferential directions of fluid flow in reservoir formation containing hydrocarbons. The results of the present work may lead to the development of algorithms to extract the permeability anisotropy from attenuation and dispersion data (derived from sonic logs and crosswell seismics) to map the fluid flow distribution in a reservoir.

The purpose of this work is to create a mathematical model of the stress state of overlapped circular axisymmetric adhesive joints and to build an appropriate analytical solution to the problem. To solve the problem, a simplified model of the adhesive bond of two overlapped plates is proposed. The simplification is that the movement of the layers depends only on the radial coordinate and does not depend on the angular one. The model is a generalization of the classical model of the connection of Holland and Reissner in the case of axial symmetry. The stresses are considered to be evenly distributed over the thickness of the layers, and the adhesive layer works only on the shift. These simplifications allowed us to obtain an analytical solution to the studied problem. The problem of the stress state of the adhesive bond of two plates is solved, one of which is weakened by a round hole, and the other is a round plate concentric with the hole. A load is applied to the plate weakened by a round hole. The discussed area is divided into three parts: the area of bonding, as well as areas inside and outside the bonding. In the field of bonding, the problem is reduced to third- and fourth-order differential equations concerning tangent and normal stresses, respectively, the solutions of which are constructed as linear combinations of Bessel functions of the first and second genera and modified Bessel functions of the first and second genera. Using the found tangential and normal stresses, we obtain linear inhomogeneous Euler differential equations concerning longitudinal and transverse displacements. The solution of the obtained equations is also constructed using Bessel functions. Outside the area of bonding, displacements are described by the equations of bending of round plates in the absence of shear forces. Boundary conditions are met exactly. The satisfaction of marginal conditions, as well as boundary conditions, leads to a system of linear equations concerning the unknown coefficients of the obtained solutions. The model problem is solved and the numerical results are compared with the results of calculations performed by using the finite element method. It is shown that the proposed model has sufficient accuracy for engineering problems and can be used to solve problems of the design of aerospace structures.

AbstractThe intricacy in Lekhnitskii’s available single power series solution for stress distribution around hole edge for both circular and noncircular holes represented by a hole shape parameter ε is decoupled by introducing a new technique. Unknown coefficients in the power series in ε are solved by an iterative technique. Full field stress distribution is obtained by following an available method on Fourier solution. The present analytical solution for reinforced square hole in an orthotropic infinite plate is derived by completely eliminating stress singularity that depends on the concept of stress ratio. The region of validity of the present analytical solution on reinforcement area is arrived at based on a comparison with the finite element analysis. The present study will also be useful for deriving analytical solution for orthotropic shell with reinforced noncircular holes.
