Abstract: We revisit Mindlin's theory for flexural dynamics of plates using two correction factors, one for shear and one for rotary inertia. Mindlin himself derived and considered his equations with both correction factors, but ...

Abstract: Significant amplitude-independent and passive non-reciprocal wave motion can be achieved in a one-dimensional (1D) discrete chain of masses and springs with bilinear elastic stiffness. Some fundamental asymmetric spatial ...

Abstract: Abstract. Enhanced transmission of sound across the air–water interface is modeled with a system of three parallel elastic plates connected by periodically spaced columnar ribs. Maximum transmitted energy combined with ...

Abstract: Abstract. Poisson’s ratio ν is defined by two orthogonal directions, one for longitudinal stretch and one for lateral strain. In elastic solids with cubic symmetry, there are only two stretch directions for which ν is ...
