The stress field in a pulled cork and some subtle points in the semi-inverse method of nonlinear elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2007-11-08)
In an attempt to describe cork-pulling, we model a cork as an incompressible rubber-like material and consider that it is subject to a helical shear deformation superimposed onto a shrink fit and a simple torsion. It turns ...
Creep, recovery, and waves in a nonlinear fiber-reinforced viscoelastic solid
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2007-10-10)
We present a constitutive model capturing some of the experimentally observed features of soft biological tissues: nonlinear viscoelasticity, nonlinear elastic anisotropy, and nonlinear viscous anisotropy. For this model ...
