The closest elastic tensor of arbitrary symmetry to an elasticity tensor of lower symmetry [PDF]
The closest tensors of higher symmetry classes are derived in explicit form for a given elasticity tensor of arbitrary symmetry. The mathematical problem is to minimize the elastic length or distance between the given tensor and the closest elasticity ...

Asymmetric deformation of anisotropic Porous bodies
A study is made of the deformation of a transversely isotropic poro-elastic half-space under various types of loads applied on its boundary. The axis of symmetry of the medium is not taken perpendicular (as is usually done) but parallel to the boundary ...

Wave speeds and Green’s tensors for shear wave propagation in incompressible, hyperelastic materials with uniaxial stretch [PDF]
Assessing elastic material properties from shear wave propagation following an acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) excitation is difficult in anisotropic materials because of the complex relations among the propagation direction, shear wave ...

Three-dimensional fundamental solution in transversely isotropic thermoelastic diffusion material [PDF]
The aim of the present investigation is to study the fundamental solution for three dimensional problem in transversely isotropic thermoelastic diffusion medium. After applying the dimensionless quantities, two displacement functions are introduced to

Estimating anisotropy parameters and traveltimes in the tau-p domain [PDF]
The presence of anisotropy influences many aspects of seismic wave propagation and has therefore implications for conventional processing schemes. To estimate the anisotropy, we need both forward modelling and inversion tools. Exact forward modelling

Remarks on explicit strong ellipticity conditions for anisotropic or pre-stressed incompressible solids [PDF]
We present a set of explicit conditions, involving the components of the elastic stiffness tensor, which are necessary and sufficient to ensure the strong ellipticity of an orthorhombic incompressible medium.
