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 ...
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 ...
Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons
(Elsevier, 2015)
We revisit an iconic deformation of non-linear elasticity: the inflation of a rubber spherical thin shell. We use the 3-parameter Mooney and Gent-Gent (GG) phenomenological models to explain the stretch-strain curve of a ...
Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
(Elsevier, 2015-03-13)
We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60%. This result followed from simple shear experiments ...
