Proposed experimental tests of a theory of fine microstructure and the two-well problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make predictions based on an analysis of a new nonlinear theory of martensitic transformations introduced by the authors, where the crystal is modelled as a nonlinear elastic material, with a free-energy function that is invariant with respect to both rigid-body rotations and the appropriate crystallographic symmetries.

On finitely strained magnetorheological elastomers

TL;DR: In this article, two different continuum formulations for magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are presented: an Eulerian (current configuration) based approach using the second law of thermodynamics plus the conservation laws method of mechanics and a new, Lagrangian based formulation based on the unconstrained minimization of a potential energy functional.

Fourth-rank tensors of the thirty-two crystal classes: multiplication tables

TL;DR: The fourth-rank tensors that embody the elastic or other properties of crystalline anisotropic substances can be partitioned into a number of sets in order that each shall acknowledge the symmetry of one or more of the crystal classes and moreover make up a closed linear associative algebra of hypercomplex numbers for the purpose of calculating the sums, products and inverses of its constituent tensors, to which end coordinate invariant expressions of the tensors are adopted.

Symmetry classes for elasticity tensors

TL;DR: Harmonic and Cartan decompositions were used by as mentioned in this paper to prove that there are eight symmetry classes of elasticity tensors, and their results in apparent contradiction with this conclusion are discussed in a short history of the problem.

Method and apparatus for measuring fluid characteristics using surface generated volumetric interrogation signals

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for measuring fluid characteristics using a non-invasive ultrasonic system for generating spatially extended signals into a volume of a fluid and detecting said signals for measuring the characteristic of the fluid.
