Abstract: The interaction between heat and dynamic response of viscoelastic bodies with temperature-dependent properties is studied. First, equations governing the small deformation thermomechanical response ...

Abstract: Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive equations for freshwater and sea ice are addressed. Following a brief review of linear theory, some recently developed, physically based nonlinear equations are discussed, ...

Abstract: The dependence of overall elastic and viscoelastic behavior of polycrystals on properties of hexagonal single crystals of ice is predicted using established methods of micromechanical analysis. The self-consistent and ...

Abstract: Linear viscoelastic properties may be rapidly identified using dynamic mechanical analysis methods, yet these traditional methods do not properly identify nonlinear viscoelastic response. Herein, ...

Abstract: A previously developed linear elastic crack-tip element analysis is reviewed briefly, and then extended and refined for practical applications. The element provides analytical expressions for total ...
