Influence of Preservation Temperature on the Measured Mechanical Properties of Brain Tissue

Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael Gilchrist

The large variability in experimentally measured mechanical properties of brain tissue is due to many factors including heterogeneity, anisotropy, age dependence and post-mortem ti…

Shear instability in skin tissue

Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade, Artur L. Gower

We propose two toy-models to describe, predict, and interpret the wrinkles appearing on the surface of skin when it is sheared. With the first model, we account for the lines of gr…

Proper formulation of viscous dissipation for nonlinear waves in solids

Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi, Maurizio Vianello

In order to model nonlinear viscous dissipative motions in solids, acoustical physicists usually add terms linear in dot{E}, the material time derivative of the Lagrangian strain t…

On stress-dependent elastic moduli and wave speeds

Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden

On the basis of the general nonlinear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine expli…

Large acoustoelastic effect

Zaki Abiza, Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden

Classical acoustoelasticity couples small-amplitude elastic wave propagation to an infinitesimal pre-deformation, in order to reveal and evaluate non-destructively third-order elas…

Slight compressibility and sensitivity to changes in Poisson's ratio

Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist, Julie Motherway +1

Finite Element simulations of rubbers and biological soft tissue usually assume that the material being deformed is slightly compressible. It is shown here that in shearing deforma…

Simple shear is not so simple

Michel Destrade, Jerry G. Murphy, Giuseppe Saccomandi

For homogeneous, isotropic, nonlinearly elastic materials, the form of the homogeneous deformation consistent with the application of a Cauchy shear stress is derived here for both…

Initial stresses in elastic solids: Constitutive laws and acoustoelasticity

Moniba Shams, Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden

On the basis of the nonlinear theory of elasticity, the general constitutive equation for an isotropic hyperelastic solid in the presence of initial stress is derived. This derivat…

On Magnetoacoustic Waves in Finitely Deformed Elastic Solids

Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden

In this paper, in the context of the quasi-magnetostatic approximation, we examine incremental motions superimposed on a static finite deformation of a magnetoelastic material in t…

Compression Instabilities of Tissues with Localized Strain Softening

Michel Destrade, Jose Merodio

The stress-strain relationship of biological soft tissues affected by Marfan's syndrome is believed to be non-convex. More specifically, Haughton and Merodio recently proposed a st…

Scalar evolution equations for shear waves in incompressible solids: A simple derivation of the Z, ZK, KZK, and KP equations

Michel Destrade, Alain Goriely, Giuseppe Saccomandi

We study the propagation of two-dimensional finite-amplitude shear waves in a nonlinear pre-strained incompressible solid, and derive several asymptotic amplitude equations in a si…
