Abstract: Wilms (1995) has considered the plane motion of three lineal rigid bodies subject to linear damping over their length. He shows that these plane single-degree-of-freedom systems are governed by ...

Abstract: The exact solution of the problem of the undamped, finite amplitude oscillations of a mass supported symmetrically by simple shear mounts, and perhaps also by a smooth plane surface or by ...

Abstract: The Poisson function is introduced to study in a simple tension test the lateral contractive response of compressible and incompressible, isotropic elastic materials in finite strain. The relation ...

Abstract: Governing equations are derived for the plane motion of a stretched hyperelastic string subjected to a suddenly applied force at one end. These equations can be put in the form of a quasilinear ...
