The effective dynamic properties of specific periodic structures involving rubber-like materials can be adjusted by pre-strain, thus facilitating the design custom acoustic filters. While nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour is one main features soft solids, it has been rarely incorporated in study such phononic media. Here, we response solids within a 'small-on-large' acoustoelasticity framework, ...

The virtual absence of pressure driven flow inside an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact leads to remarkable similarity between lubricated film thickness and separation by a viscoelastic layer as is suggested experimental theoretical results, see [1]. This offers interesting opportunities for mixed modeling without needing the continuity-based Reynolds equation. In this paper numerica...

Neurites of PC12 and chick dorsal root ganglion neurons behave as viscoelastic solids in response to applied forces. This passive behavior can be modeled with three mechanical elements; a relatively stiff, undamped spring in series with a Voight element composed of a less stiff spring in parallel with a dashpot. In response to applied tensions greater than 100 microdynes, PC12 cells show length...

The analysis of small amplitude vibrations in deformed viscoelastic solids (Morman and Nagtegaal (1983), Morman, Kao, Nagtegaal (1981) [4,5] is applicable to rubber support mounts, automotive door seals [3] and vibration isolation gaskets. Use of these capabilities in analysis software such as ABAQUS or MSC.MARC requires the equilibrium large strain material properties and the dynamic material ...

Maxwell models for viscoelastic flows are famous their potential to unify elastic motions of solids with viscous liquids in the continuum mechanics perspective. But usual allow one define well mostly one-dimensional only. To unequivocal multi-dimensional (as solutions well-posed initial-value problems) we advocated [ESAIM:M2AN 55 (2021), p. 807-831] an upper-convected model compressible a symme...
