چکیده

Assuming that the disc material can be modeled either as Mooney–Rivlin or as Hookean and the steel ring enclosing the disc as Hookean, the energy release rates as a function of the crack length are evaluated and compared. Two loadings are considered––one in which the surface of the star shape hole in the disc is loaded by a uniform pressure and the other in which the temperature of the composite body is uniformly raised. It is found that the linear and the nonlinear analyses give qualitatively similar results for the two loadings. For each load, the energy release rate increases with an increase in the starter crack length, reaches a maximum value and then decreases gradually. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A hyperelastic constitutive model for compression stiffening applicable to brain and fat tissues

2 Reformulate the free energy functions W(λ1, λ2, λ3) for the Neo-Hookean, MooneyRivlin, and Fung materials in Table 1 in terms of the invariants of b as W(Ib 1 , I b 2 , I b 3). Remember that for an incompressible material, J = 1, and thus λ3 = 1/(λ1λ2). 3 For the free energy functions W(Ib 1 , I b 2 , I b 3) of the Neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, and Fung materials (from 2), calculate the derivat...

The influence of constitutive law choice used to characterise atherosclerotic tissue material properties on computing stress values in human carotid plaques

Calculating high stress concentration within carotid atherosclerotic plaques has been shown to be complementary to anatomical features in assessing vulnerability. Reliability of stress calculation may depend on the constitutive laws/strain energy density functions (SEDFs) used to characterize tissue material properties. Different SEDFs, including neo-Hookean, one-/two-term Ogden, Yeoh, 5-parame...

Rubber/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite with Hyperelastic Matrix

An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials.  Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...

Material tailoring and universal relations for axisymmetric deformations of functionally graded rubberlike cylinders and spheres

We find the spatial variation of material parameters for pressurized cylinders and spheres composed of either an incompressible Hookean, neo-Hookean, or Mooney–Rivlin material so that during their axisymmetric deformations either the in-plane shear stress or the hoop stress has a desired spatial variation. It is shown that for a cylinder and a sphere made of an incompressible Hookean material, ...

Antiplane wave scattering from a cylindrical cavity in pre-stressed nonlinear elastic media

The effect of a longitudinal stretch and a pressure-induced inhomogeneous radial deformation on the scattering of antiplane elastic waves from a cylindrical cavity is determined. Three popular nonlinear strain energy functions are considered: the neo-Hookean, the Mooney-Rivlin and a two-term Arruda-Boyce model. A new method is developed to analyse and solve the governing wave equations. It expl...
