Rate-independent phase transitions in elastic materials: A Young-measure approach
Networks and Heterogeneous Media, 2010 A quasistatic evolution problem for a phase transition model with nonconvex energy density is considered in terms of Young measures. We focus on the particular case of a finite number of phases.

Risk-averse estimates of effective properties in heterogeneous elasticity
Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2023 In this work, we propose a theoretical framework for computing pessimistic and optimistic estimates of effective properties in the case of heterogeneous elastic materials with uncertain microscopic elastic properties.

A homogenization method for nonlinear inhomogeneous elastic materials
Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware, 2021 Background: Fast simulation techniques are strongly favored in computer graphics, especially for the nonlinear inhomogeneous elastic materials. The homogenization theory is a perfect match to simulate inhomogeneous deformable objects with its coarse ...

Using resonance to measure the independent elastic constants of problematic materials such as elastomers [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 The determination of the elastic constants for a solid material may be conveniently accomplished by measuring resonances corresponding to the elastic normal modes of a sample. Isotropic materials should be particularly straightforward, since they involve

Propagating elastic vibrations dominate thermal conduction in amorphous silicon [PDF]
, 2017 Thermal atomic vibrations in amorphous solids can be distinguished by whether they propagate as elastic waves or do not propagate due to lack of atomic periodicity.

Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media [PDF]
, 2005 Materials characterized by spatially homogeneous elastic moduli undergo affine distortions when subjected to external stress at their boundaries, i.e., their displacements $\uv (\xv)$ from a uniform reference state grow linearly with position $\xv$, and ...

Elastic potentials as yield surfaces for isotropic materials.
PLoS ONE, 2022 This paper proposes that elastic potentials, which may be rigorously formulated using the negative Gibbs free energy or the complementary strain energy density, may be used as the yield surface of elasto-plastic constitutive models.
