TL;DR: The rate constitutive equations provided relationship between convected time derivatives of the stress tensor and the convecte-time derivatives of strain tensor through the constitution of the matter as discussed by the authors, which has been used for the solid matter and polymeric liquids when the mathematical models are derived employing conservation laws in the Eulerian description.

TL;DR: Using the Vainberg's theory of potential operators, variational principles are developed for linear dynamic theory of viscoelasticity in this paper, where the Euler equations of the functional developed herein are the governing field equations, including the boundary and initial conditions as opposed to equivalent set of Integro-differential equations of Gurtin's method.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-acoustic single structural modal formulation was derived from two coupled partial differential equations representing the nonlinear structural free vibration and the acoustic pressure induced and the approximate elliptical integral solution was obtained by solving one residual equation only, and well agrees with that obtained from a harmonic balance finite element analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a layerwise mixed model for the static analysis of multilayered plates with embedded functionally graded material (FGM) layers subjected to transverse mechanical loads is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a mixed finite element scheme with a dynamic as well as a static coefficient of friction is used in the evaluation of contact stresses in pin-loaded plates, and a hybrid (experimental/ numerical) technique is used to estimate the static and dynamic coefficients of friction of the aluminum pin/plate system.
