Normal shock reflection-transmission in rubber-like elastic material

Shock Transmission and Reflection from a Material Interface and Subsequent Reflection from a Hard Boundary

Hyperelastic Material Models of Rubber and Rubber-like Materials

ABSTRACT The variety of applications of rubber-like materials in different industrial areas is enormous. In the automotive industry rubber is utilized in tires, as engine and door seals, whereas in aerospace industry rubber rings are used in fuel systems. In other engineering fields, rubbers have been used in conveyor belts, meteorological balloons and vibration isolation bearings or shock and ...

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves at Viscous Liquid/micropolar Elastic Solid Interface

Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted elastic waves from a plane interface separating a viscous liquid half-space and a micropolar elastic solid halfspace, are obtained in two cases (i) when longitudinal wave propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the interface and (ii) when “coupled-wave” propagating through the solid half-space is made incident at the int...

Weak-shock Reflection Factors

Ernst Mach (1838-1916) was the first to discover an irregular reflection phenomenon of shock waves, as is well known in our community. In fact, this occurred in 1875-three years earlier than usually assumed in the literature [1]. However, it is correct that Mach gave the physical interpretation of this phenomenon in 1878 [2]. Since Mach's discovery of an irregular shock reflection pattern some ...

Rubber Covered Rolls — The Nonlinear Elastic Problem

The problem of the indentation of a rubberlike layer bonded to a rigid cylinder and indented by another rigid cylinder is analyzed. The rubberlike layer is assumed to be made of a homogeneous Mooncy-Rivlin material. The materially and geometrically nonlinear problem is solved by using the finite-element code developed by the author. Results computed and presented graphically include the pressur...
