This thesis contains methods of solution for a number of different problems within the area of the elasticity of anisotropic materials. The first problem concerns the calculation of stresses and strains within a concentric arrangement of cylindrical shells, where each shell has a differing set of anisotropic properties. This has immediate application to the design of yacht masts, and the particular example of the "Moth" yacht mast is considered. The second problem considered is the uncoupled thermo-elastic problem, where a boundary element method is derived for solving the class of boundary value problems governing plane thermo-elastic deformations of isotropic and anisotropic materials. The final class of problems deals with mixed boundary value problems in which the stresses become singular at some points, for instance in elastic problems containing cracks.
