Boundary layers in finite thermoelasticity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study inhomogeneous deformations within the context of finite thermoelasticity with a view towards highlighting the developments of "boundary layer" like structures, which manifest themselves by virtue of the material's ability to shear soften or shear stiffen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat-Induced Changes in the Finite Strain Viscoelastic Behavior of a Collaagenous Tissue

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the first biaxial data on the stress relaxation behavior of a collagenous tissue before and after thermal damage, which showed that the thermal damage can significantly decrease the characteristic time for stress relaxation and the stress residual.
Journal ArticleDOI

A quasi-correspondence principle for Quasi-Linear viscoelastic solids

TL;DR: In this article, the correspondence principle between linear elasticity and linear viscoelasticity was extended to the case of quasi-Linear solids, and the correspondence between the solutions for the solutions of the linear solids and the quasi-linear solids was shown to break under certain conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of three dimensional constitutive theories based on lower dimensional experimental data

TL;DR: Different choices for the manner in which the body stores energy and dissipates energy and satisfies the requirement of maximization of the rate of entropy production that can all describe the same experimental data are shown.
