Nonlinear Electro- and Magnetoelastic Interactions

Implicit constitutive relations for nonlinear magnetoelastic bodies.

Implicit constitutive relations that characterize the response of elastic bodies have greatly enhanced the arsenal available at the disposal of the analyst working in the field of elasticity. This class of models were recently extended to describe electroelastic bodies by the present authors. In this paper, we extend the development of implicit constitutive relations to describe the behaviour o...

Nonlinear Electroelastic Deformations

Electro-sensitive (ES) elastomers form a class of smart materials whose mechanical properties can be changed rapidly by the application of an electric field. These materials have attracted considerable interest recently because of their potential for providing relatively cheap and light replacements for mechanical devices, such as actuators, and also for the development of artificial muscles. I...

On Axisymmetrjc Deformations of Nonlinear Viscoelastic Membranes

In previous work it was shown that a class of axisymmetric viscoelastic membrane problems can be reduced to the numerical solution of a system of partial differential-Volterra integral equations. This general method has the disadvantage that a change in constitutive equation requires rederivation of specific details of the governing system. In this paper, a revised method is presented in which ...

Nonlinear projection: using deformations in 3D viewing

But what if you need to generate distorted views? For example, we see a distorted environment when we look through a raindrop on a windshield. When we play computer games, we also might want to have a pair of “magic” lenses that let us see a deformed virtual world. In this article, we present techniques for achieving nonlinear projections and distortions and use these techniques to generate dis...
