Previous inversions for slip rate along the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS), based on elastic half-space models, show a discrepancy between the geologic and geodetic slip rates along a few major fault segments. In this study, we use an earthquake cycle model representing an elastic plate over a viscoelastic half-space to demonstrate that there is no significant discrepancy between long-term geo...

The paper deals with the computation of residual and transient stresses in a tempered glass plate. The modelling takes into account the viscoelastic behavior and the structural relaxation of glass. The evolution of stresses with time during the rapid cooling is computed. Simulation results are compared with experimental ones from the literature available. Levels of transient tensile stress in t...

Mode selection of guided waves in an elastic steel plate with thick coating layer has been studied here. E€ect of both thick elastic coating and damping of the coating layer on the dispersion and mode shapes has been investigated and modes that are less a€ected by elastic coating and damping have been identi®ed. For modeling the viscoelastic behavior of the coating layer, the standard linear so...

Ultrasonic elasticity imaging enables visualization of soft tissue deformation for medical diagnosis. Our aim is to understand the role of flow-dependent and flow-independent viscoelastic mechanisms in the response of biphasic polymeric media, including biological tissues and hydrogels, to low-frequency forces. Combining the results of confined and unconfined compression experiments on gelatin ...
