Abstract: We study the equilibrium stress field in an annulus composed of a material that admits stress-induced displacive phase transformation that preserves volume. A standard example is the austenite ...

Abstract: The most common shape memory actuation procedure involves a shape memory element that works against a conventional elastic biasing element. Actuation is provided by the movement of the contact ...

Abstract: Some recent analyses modeled the response of collagenous tissues, such as epicardium, using a hypothetical network consisting of interconnected springlike fibers. The fibers in the network were ...
