Abstract
Consider the constitutive law for an isotropic elastic solid with the strain-energy function expanded up to the fourth order in the strain and the stress up to the third order in the strain. The stress-strain relation can then be inverted to give the strain in terms of the stress with a view to considering the incompressible limit. For this purpose, use of the logarithmic strain tensor is of particular value. It enables the limiting values of all nine fourth-order elastic constants in the incompressible limit to be evaluated precisely and rigorously. In particular, it is explained why the three constants of fourth-order incompressible elasticity μ, Ā, and D are of the same order of magnitude. Several examples of application of the results follow, including determination of the acoustoelastic coefficients in incompressible solids and the limiting values of the coefficients of nonlinearity for elastic wave propagation.

A comparison of hyperelastic constitutive models applicable to brain and fat tissues.

TL;DR: The analysis reveals that the Fung and Gent models are inadequate for the modelling of brain or fat under combined stretch and shear, and so are the classical neo-Hookean and Mooney–Rivlin models used for elastomers, but a subclass of Ogden hyperelastic models are found to be in excellent agreement with the experiments.

Review of nonlinear ultrasonic guided wave nondestructive evaluation: theory, numerics, and experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent advances in the theory of nonlinear guided waves, as well as the numerical simulations and experiments that demonstrate their utility, including the application of higher harmonic generation of ultrasonic guided wave modes for nondestructive evaluation.

Methodical fitting for mathematical models of rubber-like materials

TL;DR: The method provides models that describe the experimental data with a very low quantitative relative error, but also shows that the theory of nonlinear elasticity is much more robust that seemed at first sight.

Nonlinear guided waves in plates: a numerical perspective.

TL;DR: Harmonic generation from non-cumulative fundamental symmetric and antisymmetric modes in plate is studied from a numerical standpoint and the phenomenon of mode-interaction to generate sum and difference frequencies is demonstrated.

Biomechanical model of the human cornea: considering shear stiffness and regional variation of collagen anisotropy and density.

TL;DR: The presented model, along with its age dependent material coefficients, allows finite element modelling for an individual patient with material stiffness approximated based on their age and has great potential to be used in both daily clinical practice for the planning and optimising of corrective procedures and in pre-clinical optimisation of diagnostic procedures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of non-linear elastic systems on a simple geometric model for elastic deformations is discussed, and the authors propose a planar and spatial euler introduction to nonlinear analysis.
