Abstract: The variational theorem by Sanders, McComb, and Schlechte [1] is applied to find the critical collapse time of an open thin-walled tube with a cross section having an axis of symmetry subjected ...

Abstract: In this paper, Onsager’s principle of irreversible thermodynamics is applied to viscoelastic materials subjected to finite deformation. The constitutive equation of Ref. [10] for small dynamic ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with a perturbation technique suitable for the stress analysis of viscoelastic solids with temperature-dependent properties in the presence of nonuniform transient temperature ...
