The visco-elastic properties of the arterial wall. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1960
PhDThe visco-elastic properties of the arterial wail are of importance in determining the behaviour of the circulatory system for the pulse wave is a relatively rapid event.

Stress analysis of thin and thick plates on elastic foundations using boundary and finite element methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
In this work an attempt has been made to derive a full finite element and boundary element theory for the analysis of thin and thick plates on elastic foundations. A new high order shear finite element capable of the analysis of thin thick plates has

Nucleation in Systems with Elastic Forces [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2002
Systems with long-range interactions when quenced into a metastable state near the pseudo-spinodal exhibit nucleation processes that are quite different from the classical nucleation seen near the coexistence curve. In systems with long-range elastic forces the description of the nucleation process can be quite subtle due to the presence of bulk ...

Beyond the Stokes approximation: shallow visco-elastic ice-sheet models

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
The hypothesis that ice-sheet evolution is only controlled by the long-term non-Newtonian viscous behavior of ice has been challenged by observations indicating that effects like brittle failure, stick-slip sliding, tides and wave action may affect ice ...

On the stabilization of the elasticity system by the boundary [PDF]

open access: yesAsymptotic Analysis, 2008
We obtain free of resonances regions for the elasticity system in the exterior of a strictly convex body in R 3 with dissipative boundary conditions under some natural assumptions on the behaviour of the geodesics on the boundary.

Intrinsically Elastic Robots: the Key to Human Like Performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Intrinsically elastic robots, which technically implement some key characteristics of the human muskoskeletal system, have become a major research topic in nowadays robotics. These novel devices open up entirely new control approaches.

Analysis of a Clapping Vibration Energy Harvesting System in a Rotating Magnetic Field

open access: yesSensors, 2022
This technical note proposes a clapping vibration energy harvesting system (CVEH system) installed in a rotating system. This device includes a rotating wheel, a drive shaft that rotates the wheel, and a double elastic steel sheet fixed on the drive ...

Eigenvalue of a semi-infinite elastic strip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A semi-infinite elastic strip, subjected to traction free boundary conditions, is studied in the context of in-plane stationary vibrations. By using normal (Rayleigh–Lamb) mode expansion the problem of existence of the strip eigenmode is reformulated in ...

Dynamics of Disordered Elastic Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We review in these notes some dynamical properties of interfaces in random media submitted to an external force. We focuss in particular to the response to a very small force (so called creep motion) and discuss various theoretical aspects of this problem. We consider in details in particular the case of a one dimensional interface (domain wall).

Elastic and Transport Properties of the Tailorable Multifunctional Hierarchical Honeycombs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we analytically studied the in-plane elastic and transport properties of a peculiar hexagonal honeycomb, i.e., the multifunctional hierarchical honeycomb (MHH).
