Modelling hollow thermoplastic syntactic foams under high-strain compressive loading
Michael J. A. Smith, Zeshan Yousaf, Prasad Potluri +1
The mechanical response of syntactic foams comprising hollow thermoplastic microspheres (HTMs) embedded in a polyurethane matrix were experimentally examined under uniaxial compres…
Multiple Waves Propagate in Random Particulate Materials
Artur Lewis Gower, William J. Parnell, Ian David Abrahams
For over 70 years it has been assumed that scalar wave propagation in (ensemble-averaged) random particulate materials can be characterised by a single effective wavenumber. Here,…
A modified formulation of quasi-linear viscoelasticity for transversely isotropic materials under finite deformation
Valentina Balbi, Tom Shearer, William J Parnell
The theory of quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) is modified and developed for transversely isotropic (TI) materials under finite deformation. For the first time, distinct relaxati…
Characterising particulate random media from near-surface backscattering: a machine learning approach to predict particle size and concentration
Artur L. Gower, Robert M. Gower, Jonathan Deakin +2
To what extent can particulate random media be characterised using direct wave backscattering from a single receiver/source? Here, in a two dimensional setting, we show using a mac…
Hyperelastic antiplane ground cloaking
Pu Zhang, William J. Parnell
Hyperelastic materials possess the appealing property that they may be employed as elastic wave manipulation devices and cloaks by imposing pre-deformation. They provide an alterna…
