Large amplitude Love waves
(Oxford Journals, 2008-04-22)
In the context of the finite elasticity theory, we consider a model for compressible solids called 'compressible neo-Hookean material'. We show how finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and finite-amplitude ...
Nonlinear transverse waves in deformed dispersive solids
(Elsevier, 2008)
We present a phenomenological approach to dispersion in nonlinear elasticity. A simple, thermomechanically sound, constitutive model is proposed to describe the (non-dissipative) properties of a hyperelastic dispersive ...
Measuring knife stab penetration into skin simulant using a novel biaxial tension device
(Elsevier, 2008)
This paper describes the development and use of a biaxial measurement device to analyse the mechanics of knife stabbings. In medicolegal situations it is typical to describe the consequences of a stabbing incident in ...
Piezoacoustic wave spectra using improved surface impedance matrix: Application to high impedance-contrast layered plates
(2008)
Starting from the general modal solutions for a homogeneous layer of arbitrary material and crystalline symmetry, a matrix formalism is developed to establish the semianalytical expressions of the surface impedance matrices ...
Incremental magnetoelastic deformations, with application to surface instability
(Springer, 2008-01)
In this paper the equations governing the deformations of infinitesimal (incremental) disturbances superimposed on finite static deformation fields involving magnetic and elastic interactions are presented. The coupling ...
Asymptotic results for bifurcations in pure bending of rubber blocks
(Oxford Journals, 2008-03)
The bifurcation of an incompressible neo-Hookean thick block with a ratio of thickness to length n, subject to pure bending, is considered. The two incremental equilibrium equations corresponding to a nonlinear pre-buckling ...
Nonlinear Euler buckling
(Royal Society Publishing, 2008-11)
The buckling of hyperelastic incompressible cylindrical tubes of arbitrary length and thickness under compressive axial load is considered within the framework of nonlinear elasticity. Analytical and numerical methods for ...
A wave near the edge of a circular disk
(2008)
It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave ...
Finite-amplitude Love waves in a pre-stressed neo-Hookean material
(2008)
In the context of the non-linear elasticity theory we consider a model for compressible solids called compressible neoHookean
material . We show how (exact) finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and ...
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 ...
