Phenomenological modeling of DNA overstretching
Ray W. Ogden, Giuseppe Saccomandi, Ivonne Sgura
A phenomenological model based on the three-dimensional theory of nonlinear elasticity is developed to describe the phenomenon of overstretching in the force-extension curve for ds…
The stress field in a pulled cork and some subtle points in the semi-inverse method of nonlinear elasticity
Riccardo De Pascalis, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
In an attempt to describe cork-pulling, we model a cork as an incompressible rubber-like material and consider that it is subject to a helical shear deformation superimposed onto a…
Creep, recovery, and waves in a nonlinear fiber-reinforced viscoelastic solid
Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We present a constitutive model capturing some of the experimentally observed features of soft biological tissues: nonlinear viscoelasticity, nonlinear elastic anisotropy, and nonl…
Weierstrass's criterion and compact solitary waves
Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Gaeta, Giuseppe Saccomandi
Weierstrass's theory is a standard qualitative tool for single degree of freedom equations, used in classical mechanics and in many textbooks. In this Brief Report we show how a si…
