Stochastic Strike-Slip Fault as Earthquake Source Model
It is known that the source of a tectonic earthquake in the framework of the theory of elasticity and viscoelasticity is considered to be displacement along a certain fault surface.

Relativistic elasticity on an arbitrary spacetime is formulated as a Lagrangian field theory which is covariant under spacetime diffeomorphisms. This theory is the relativistic version of classical elasticity in the hyperelastic, materially frame ...

EVALUATION OF PLATE LOAD TEST RESULTS: A CASE STUDY IN ANKARA/TURKEY
Plate load test is widely used for bearing capacity and settlement calculations of foundations. In this study, 6 plate load tests were carried out to determine the bearing capacity and settlement of the foundation.

Elasticity theory in general relativity [PDF]
Abstract The general relativistic theory of elasticity is reviewed from a Lagrangian, as opposed to Eulerian, perspective. The equations of motion and stress–energy–momentum tensor for a hyperelastic body are derived from the gauge–invariant action principle first considered by DeWitt. This action is a natural extension of the action for

Active Optics—Advances of Cycloid-like Variable Curvature Mirrors for the VLTI Array
Elasticity theory and active optics led us to the discovery of three geometrical configurations of variable curvature mirrors (VCMs) that are either cycloid-like or tulip-like thickness distributions. Cycloid-like VCMs are generated by a uniform load—air

The strain gradient elasticity via nonlocal considerations [PDF]
Strain gradient elasticity and nonlocal elasticity are two enhanced elastic theories intensively used over the last fifty years to explain static and dynamic phenomena that classical elasticity fails to do. The nonlocal elastic theory has a clear differentiation from the classical case by considering stresses in a point of the continuum as an integral ...

On the theory of porous elastic rods [PDF]
AbstractWe consider the direct approach to the theory of rods, in which the thin body is modelled as a deformable curve with a triad of rigidly rotating orthonormal vectors attached to every material point. In this context, we employ the theory of elastic materials with voids to describe the mechanical behavior of porous rods.

Revisiting the Elasticity Theory for Real Gaussian Phantom Networks
In the classical phantom network theory, the shear modulus of a polymer network is derived assuming the underlying network has a treelike topology made up of identical strands. However, in real networks, defects such as dangling ends, cyclic defects, and

Polycrystal thermo-elasticity revisited: theory and applications
The self-consistent (SC) theory is the most commonly used mean-field homogenization method to estimate the mechanical response behavior of polycrystals based on the knowledge of the properties and orientation distribution of constituent single-crystal ...

Motivated by recent studies of fractons, we demonstrate that elasticity theory of a two-dimensional quantum crystal is dual to a fracton tensor gauge theory, providing a concrete manifestation of the fracton phenomenon in an ordinary solid.
