This study deals with the generalization of this formula to orthotropic elastic materials and Malischewsky's formula is recovered as a special case. The formula is obtained using the theory of cubic equations and is expressed as a continuous function of three dimensionless material parameters. date: 2005 type: Articles type: PeerReviewed identifier: Vinh, P.C. and Ogden, R.W.
