Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)
An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ...
At least three invariants are necessary to model the mechanical response of incompressible, transversely isotropic materials
(Springer, 2013-04-18)
The modelling of off-axis simple tension experiments on transversely isotropic nonlinearly elastic materials is considered. A testing protocol is proposed where normal force is applied to one edge of a rectangular specimen ...
