Abstract: The admissible stress states for creep at constant stress in a particular viscoelastic solid are determined by the condition that they must give rise to strain histories which satisfy the ...

Abstract: A rate-independent constitutive theory for finite inelastic deformation is formulated in terms of the symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stress, the Lagrangian strain, and a kinematic tensor which describes ...

Abstract: It is shown that a finite deformation history, involving bending, stretching, and shearing, can be supported in every incompressible orthotropic simple solid by the application of suitable surface ...

Abstract: Finite amplitude standing wave solutions, obtained previously, are specialized to the case of incompressible isotropic elastic solids with cubic or quintic shear response. This allows closed-form ...

Abstract: Needed advances in various areas of energy resource recovery, underground construction, earthquake hazard reduction, and conventional and nuclear defense depend critically on the development of ...

Abstract: Solid mechanics is a basic discipline which supports much of the practice of mechanical and civil engineering, and contributes significantly to other engineering and scientific disciplines. Research ...

Abstract: The mixture theory by Green and Naghdi is modified and applied to the problems of flow-through porous materials. By introducing porosity, we make clear that two constituents occupying the same ...

Abstract: The recently established modified mixture theory for fluid-filled porous materials is applied to two steady state boundary value problems; also, how the newly developed theory provides more general ...

Abstract: It has been shown that the overall strain of a fluid-filled porous elastic solid is not governed by the Terzaghi effective stress law. We show, in the context of anisotropic linear elasticity, ...
