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 ...
Waves and vibrations in a solid of second grade
(World Scientific, 2006)
We study the viscoelastic second grade solid, for which the constitutive equation
consists in the sum of a purely elastic part and a viscoelastic part; this latter part
is specified by two microstructural coefficients ...
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 ...
Interface waves in pre-stressed incompressible solids
(Springer, 2007)
We study incremental wave propagation for what is seemingly the simplest boundary value problem, namely that constitued by the plane interface of a semi-infinite solid. With a view to model loaded elastomers and soft ...
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 ...
