Abstract
Part II (Soldatos 2018b) identified some theoretical disagreement between the generally anisotropic polar linear elasticity of Mindlin and Tiersten (1962) and its counterpart developed in (Spencer and Soldatos, 2007; Soldatos, 2014) for fibrous composites with embedded fibres resistant in bending. The present communication shows that this disagreement is essentially due to inherent features of fibre-splay types of deformation and, consequently, generalises the couple-stress theory in a manner that creates room for newly emerged fibre-splay type of kinematic variables to enter and be accounted for. Relevant fundamental theorems, associate in Part II with the Mindlin and Tiersten model, are generalised accordingly to meet the needs and requirements of the proposed new formulation. Interestingly and importantly, the outlined generalisation enables formation of a convincing answer to a long-standing question regarding the indeterminacy of the spherical part of the couple-stress tensor, at least as far as polar elasticity of fibre-reinforced materials is concerned. The manner thus is demonstrated in which the spherical part of the couple-stress can be determined in polar linear elasticity of fibrous composites that exhibit transverse isotropy due to an embedded family of fibres resistant in bending.
