Nonlinear Elasticity in Biological Gels [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2004
Unlike most synthetic materials, biological materials often stiffen as they are deformed. This nonlinear elastic response, critical for the physiological function of some tissues, has been documented since at least the 19th century, but the molecular ...

Nonlinear elasticity of monolayer graphene [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2009
By combining continuum elasticity theory and tight-binding atomistic simulations, we work out the constitutive nonlinear stress-strain relation for graphene stretching elasticity and we calculate all the corresponding nonlinear elastic moduli.

Multiwell Rigidity in Nonlinear Elasticity [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2010
We derive a quantitative rigidity estimate for a multiwell problem in nonlinear elasticity. Precisely, we show that if a gradient field is L^1-close to a set of the form SO(n)U_1 \cup ... \cup SO(n)U_l, and an appropriate bound on the length of the interfaces holds, then the gradient field is actually close to only one of the wells SO(n)U_i.

Analytic Binary Alloy Volume–Concentration Relations and the Deviation from Zen’s Law

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Alloys expand or contract as concentrations change, and the resulting relationship between atomic volume and alloy content is an important property of the solid.

Applications of implicit constitutive theory for describing the elastic response of rocks and concrete

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics, 2022
An implicit constitutive relation is proposed for elastic bodies, when the gradient of the displacement is assumed to be very small, and as a result the strains are small.

Solitary and compact-like shear waves in the bulk of solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We show that a model proposed by Rubin, Rosenau, and Gottlieb [J. Appl. Phys. 77 (1995) 4054], for dispersion caused by an inherent material characteristic length, belongs to the class of simple materials. Therefore, it is possible to generalize the idea

A Study of Nonlinear Elasticity Effects on Permeability of Stress Sensitive Shale Rocks Using an Improved Coupled Flow and Geomechanics Model: A Case Study of the Longmaxi Shale in China

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Gas transport in shale gas reservoirs is largely affected by rock properties such as permeability. These properties are often sensitive to the in-situ stress state changes. Accurate modeling of shale gas transport in shale reservoir rocks considering the

Nonreciprocal elasticity and the realization of static and dynamic nonreciprocity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The realization of the mechanical nonreciprocity requires breaking either the time-reversal symmetry or the material deformation symmetry. The time-reversal asymmetry was the commonly adopted approach to realize dynamic nonreciprocity.

Dynamic characterization of progressively damaged segmental masonry arches with one settled support: experimental and numerical analyses

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2020
This paper aims to explore the dynamic behavior of a segmental masonry arch subjected to increasing horizontal displacements of one support. To this end, output-only dynamic identification techniques are first used to track the evolution of the dynamic ...

Nonlinear flexure mechanics of beams: stress gradient and nonlocal integral theory

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2021
In order to study the intrinsic size-effects, the stress gradient theory is implemented to a nano-scale beam model in nonlinear flexure. The nonlocal integral elasticity model is considered as a suitable counterpart to examine the softening behavior of ...
