Journal ArticleDOI

A phenomenological model of twinning based on dual reference structures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the interplay between storage and dissipation of energy due to deformation and their influence on the propagation and arrest of twinning and showed that the entire constitutive structure of the material can be reduced to the specification of three scalar functions to model quasi-equilibriated twinning.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nonlinear integral model for describing responses of viscoelastic solids

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear integral model for solid-like materials, which upon linearization reduces to a linear viscoelastic model, is defined by separating the normalized time function and nonlinear stress measure that describes the elastic response of the materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of pressure dependent viscosity in measurements with falling cylinder viscometer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of variable viscosity and derived a heuristic correction to the classical formula for the case of fluids with pressure dependent viscosities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response of Anisotropic Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Solids

TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive model for describing the nonlinear response of anisotropic viscoelastic solids that might be well suited to describe the response of biological and geological solids is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the inhomogeneous shearing of a new class of elastic bodies

TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that the class of bodies that can be called "elastic" is far larger than classical Cauchy and Green elastic bodies, and the usefulness and viability of such bodies is assessed.
