Abstract: The elastoplastic field induced by a self-similar dynamic expansion of a pressurized spherical cavity is investigated for the compressible Mises solid. The governing system consists of two ordinary ...

Abstract: The problem of a thick-walled cylindrical tube subjected to internal pressure is investigated within the framework of continuum plasticity. Material behavior is modeled by a finite strain ...

Abstract: The axial diffusion rate of self-equilibrating surface loads is investigated for axially prestretched solids under plane-strain conditions. The perturbed field within the body, induced by an ...

Abstract: Local singular fields are investigated in the vicinity of the vertex of a sharp wedge that penetrates a viscous solid. Material behavior is modeled by the usual powerlaw constitutive relation. ...

Abstract: The essential features of the active plastic zone at the tip of a penetrating rigid cone are investigated for a rigid/perfectly plastic solid. An exact solution is suggested for the plastic ...

Abstract: High velocity cavitation fields are investigated in the context of large strain J2 plasticity with strain hardening and elastic compressibility. The problem setting is that of an internally ...

Abstract: Simple finite strain versions of the Maxwell and Kelvin‐Voigt viscoelastic solids are investigated within the framework of continuum mechanics. Three‐dimensional constitutive equations are examined with two different ...

Abstract: A one dimensional analytical model is developed for the steady state, axisymmetric flow of damp powder within a rotating impervious cone. The powder spins with the cone but migrates up the ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of arterial elasticity is imperative for predicting pulsatile blood flow and transport to the periphery, and for evaluating the mechanical microenvironment of the vessel wall. ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of arterial response to physiological or pathological loads may shed light on the processes leading to initiation and progression of a number of vascular diseases and may serve ...
