Piecewise linear constitutive relations for stretch-limited elastic strings
Roger Bustamante, K. R. Rajagopal, Casey Rodriguez
This study proposes a simple and novel class of stretch-limiting constitutive relations for perfectly flexible elastic strings drawing from modern advances in constitutive theory f…

The conclusion that metamaterials could have negative mass is a consequence of improper constitutive characterisation
David Cichra, VÃt Průša, K. R. Rajagopal +2
The concept of "effective mass" is frequently used for the simplification of complex lumped parameter systems (discrete dynamical systems) as well as materials that have complicate…
