Constitutive theory for mechanics of amorphous thermoplastic polymers under extreme dynamic loading
John D. Clayton
A geometrically nonlinear continuum mechanical theory is formulated for deformation and failure behaviors of amorphous polymers. The model seeks to capture material response over a…

Modeling dynamic impact, shock waves, and injury in liver tissue with a constrained mixture theory
John D. Clayton
A nonlinear continuum theory is advanced for high-rate mechanics and thermodynamics of liver parenchyma. The homogenized continuum is idealized as a solid-fluid mixture of dense vi…

Nonlinear soft-tissue elasticity, remodeling, and degradation described by an extended Finsler geometry
John D. Clayton
A continuum mechanical theory incorporating an extension of Finsler geometry is formulated for fibrous soft solids. Especially if of biologic origin, such solids are nonlinear elas…
