Theory of Deformation of a Porous Viscoelastic Anisotropic Solid

Equations are established for the deformation of a viscoelastic porous solid containing a viscous fluid under the most general assumptions of anisotropy. The particular cases of transverse and complete isotropy are discussed. General solutions are also developed for the equations in the isotropic case. As an example the problem of the settlement of a loaded column is treated. The second-order e...

On Analysis of Stress Concentration in Curvilinear Anisotropic Deformable Continuum Bodies

In cylindrical continua, hoop stresses are induced due to the circumferential failure. This mainly happens when the cylinder is subjected to mechanical loads which vary in the circumferential directions. On the other hand, radial stress is stress in the direction of or opposite to the central axis of a cylindrical body. In the present study, the influence of curvilinear anisotropy on the radial...

Anisotropic deformation response of single protein molecules.

Single-molecule methods have given experimental access to the mechanical properties of single protein molecules. So far, access has been limited to mostly one spatial direction of force application. Here, we report single-molecule experiments that explore the mechanical properties of a folded protein structure in precisely controlled directions by applying force to selected amino acid pairs. We...

Asymmetric mamillary bodies: MR identification.

We report three cases in which there was marked asymmetry of the mamillary bodies, noted on MR in two and at autopsy in the third. Based on its proposed pathogenesis, we suggest that this finding could have value in locating temporal lobe disease in patients with intractable epilepsy.
