Onde de Love Piézoacoustique
(2006-04-24)
Une sélection de résultats analytiques et numériques concernant la propagation d'ondes planes harmoniques guidées dans un bicouche piézoélectrique est présentée.
L'étude effectuée concerne les modes transverses horizontaux ...
Ray W Ogden: An Appreciation
(SAGE Publications, 2015-07)
This special issue of Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids is dedicated to Professor Ray Ogden FRS on the occasion
of his 70th birthday. It is a companion volume to another special issue edited by our colleagues ...
On residual stresses and homeostasis: an elastic theory of functional adaptation in living matter
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04-26)
Living matter can functionally adapt to external physical factors by developing internal tensions, easily revealed by cutting experiments. Nonetheless, residual stresses intrinsically have a complex spatial distribution, ...
Strain energy function for isotropic non-linear elastic incompressible solids with linear finite strain response in shear and torsion
(Elsevier, 2016-07-18)
We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear ...
Introduction to the special issue on stability under finite deformation
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
In the botanical gardens of Grenoble, France, there is small bridge, just a few metres long, made of pre-stressed concrete. The bridge dates back to 1855 and is thought to be the oldest manufactured pre-stressed structure ...
Measuring the linear and nonlinear elastic properties of brain tissue with shear waves and inverse analysis
(Springer, 2015-02-20)
We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the ...
Waves and vibrations in a solid of second grade
(World Scientific, 2006)
We study the viscoelastic second grade solid, for which the constitutive equation
consists in the sum of a purely elastic part and a viscoelastic part; this latter part
is specified by two microstructural coefficients ...
A note about waves in dissipative and dispersive solids
(World Scientific, 2008)
We study shear waves propagating in a special viscoelastic model proposed first by
Fosdick and Yu in 1996. We deduce an asymptotic approximation which reduces
the full balance equations to a system of evolution equations ...
Interface waves in pre-stressed incompressible solids
(Springer, 2007)
We study incremental wave propagation for what is seemingly the simplest boundary value problem, namely that constitued by the plane interface of a semi-infinite solid. With a view to model loaded elastomers and soft ...
Incremental equations for soft fibrous materials
(Springer, 2015)
The general theory of nonlinear anisotropic elasticity
is extended to describe small-amplitude motions and static deformations
that can be superimposed on large pre-strains of fibre-reinforced
solids. The linearised ...
