The KP equation of plane elastodynamics
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
The propagation of nonlinear and dispersive waves in various materials can be described by the well-known Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, which is a (2+1)-dimensional partial…
Modelling brain tissue elasticity with the Ogden model and an alternative family of constitutive models
Afshin Anssari-Benam, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
The Ogden model is often considered as a standard model in the literature for application to the deformation of brain tissue. Here we show that, in some of those applications, the…
Plane-polarised finite-amplitude shear waves in deformed incompressible materials
Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of…
The generalised Mooney space for modelling the response of rubber-like materials
Afshin Anssari-Benam, Andrea Bucchi, Michel Destrade +1
Soft materials such as rubbers, silicones, gels and biological tissues have a nonlinear response to large deformations, a phenomenon which in principle can be captured by hyperelas…
Singular travelling waves in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility,…
Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist, Jerry G. Murphy +2
We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60\%. This…
