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 ...
