On large bending deformations of transversely isotropic rectangular elastic blocks [PDF]
In this paper we examine the classical problem of finite bending of a rectangular block of elastic material into a sector of a circular cylindrical tube in respect of compressible transversely isotropic elastic materials.

Microcracks closure effects in initially orthotropic materials [PDF]
Microcracking is one of the basic mechanisms of inelastic deformation for a large class of anisotropic materials such as brittle matrix composites. Even at fixed microcracks density, the macroscopic behavior of these materials is very complex due to the ...

Energy-Minimizing Microstructures in Multiphase Elastic Solids [PDF]
This thesis concerns problems of microstructure and its macroscopic consequences in multiphase elastic solids, both single crystals and polycrystals. The elastic energy of a two-phase solid is a function of its microstructure.

A homogenization method for nonlinear inhomogeneous elastic materials
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 ...

ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF MATERIAL SYMMETRY FOR ANISOTROPIC ELASTIC MATERIALS [PDF]
The problem considered here is that of identifying the type of elastic material symmetry of a material, given the values of the components of the fourth-rank elasticity tensor of the material relative to a known, but arbitrary, coordinate system. Four simple eigenvalue problems are posed for the determination of the normals to the planes of reflective ...

On modeling shape memory polymers as elastic two-phase composite materials [PDF]
A model has been proposed recently, which describes the experimentally observed mechanical behavior of some shape memory polymers. It considers a purely thermoelastic behavior, without strain rate effects, and assumes essentially that the polymer can be ...

Using resonance to measure the independent elastic constants of problematic materials such as elastomers [PDF]
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
