On Saint-Venant's principle in plane anisotropic elasticity

Methods involving energy-decay inequalities are applied in investigating Saint-Venant's principle for the planproblem of linear elastostatics for a wide class of anisotropic media. A lower bound (in terms of the elastic constants) is obtained for the rate of exponential decay of stresses and this is compared with the known result for the isotropic case.RésuméPar une méthode applicable à un très grand nombre de milieu anisotropique, l'auteur utilise les inégalités concernant la décroissance de l'énergie dans le cas d'un problème plan et dans l'hypothèse de conditions élastostatiques linéaires, l'auteur précise la validité du principe de Saint-Venant dans le cadre de ses applications. Une limite inférieure (en fonction des constantes élastiques) de la décroissance exponentielle des contraintes est mise en évidence et comparée aux résultats obtenus en milieux isotropes.
