Large-amplitude Love waves
Elizabete Rodrigues Ferreira, Philippe Boulanger, Michel Destrade
In the context of the finite elasticity theory, we consider a model for compressible solids called 'compressible neo-Hookean material'. We show how finite-amplitude inhomogeneous p…
Asymptotic results for bifurcations in pure bending of rubber blocks
Ciprian Coman, Michel Destrade
The bifurcation of an incompressible neo-Hookean thick block with a ratio of thickness to length {eta}, subject to pure bending, is considered. The two incremental equilibrium equa…
A wave near the edge of a circular disk
Michel Destrade, Yibin Fu
It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be fast…
Mechanics of Stabbing: Biaxial Measurement of Knife Stab Penetration of Skin Simulant
Michael D. Gilchrist, Stephen Keenan, Michael Curtis +3
In medicolegal situations, the consequences of a stabbing incident are described in terms that are qualitative without being quantitative. Here, the mechanical variables involved i…
Piezoacoustic wave spectra using improved surface impedance matrix: Application to high impedance-contrast layered plates
Victor Y. Zhang, Bertrand Dubus, Bernard Collet +1
Starting from the general modal solutions for a homogeneous layer of arbitrary material and crystalline symmetry, a matrix formalism is developed to establish the semi analytical e…
Writhe formulas and antipodal points in plectonemic DNA configurations
S. Neukirch, E. L. Starostin
The linking and writhing numbers are key quantities when characterizing the structure of a piece of supercoiled DNA. Defined as double integrals over the shape of the double-helix,…
