Wave propagation in elastic solids infused with fluids
Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal,L. Tao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of transverse plane waves, longitudinal waves and spherical waves in both isotropic and transversely-isotropic elastic solids infused with a fluid was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A viscoelastic model for describing the response of biological fibers
TL;DR: A fractional-order viscoelastic (FOV) solid model is put into place that can quantify the properties of biological fibers comprised of collagen fibrils and elastic filaments that is used to describe stress relaxation in mitral-valve chordæ tendineæ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of hypoelasticity
TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic framework for hypoelasticity is constructed based on a modified Gibbs Function which depends on the stress deviator and specific volume and the resulting conditions lead to relations among the coefficients in the rate equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segmental Variations in the Peel Characteristics of the Porcine Thoracic Aorta
Manoj Myneni,Akshay Rao,Mingliang Jiang,Michael R. Moreno,Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal,Chandler C. Benjamin +5 more
TL;DR: The tearing characteristics of the porcine thoracic aorta is studied using a peeling test and the peeling energy per unit area in the ascending and the descending segments is estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave patterns in a nonclassic nonlinearly-elastic bar under Riemann data
TL;DR: In this article, all wave patterns for non-classic nonlinearly elastic materials under Riemann data are established completely by separating the phase plane into twelve disjoint regions and by using a nonnegative dissipation rate assumption and the maximally dissipative kinetics at any stress discontinuity.
