The elastic stored energy of initially strained, or stressed, materials: restrictions and third-order expansions
Artur L. Gower, Tom Shearer, Pasquale Ciarletta +1
A large variety of materials, widely encountered both in engineering applications and in the biological realm, are characterised by a non-vanishing internal stress distribution, ev…
Tensor decomposition for modified quasi-linear viscoelastic models: towards a fully nonlinear theory
Valentina Balbi, Tom Shearer, William J Parnell
We discuss the decomposition of the tensorial relaxation function for isotropic and transversely isotropic Modified Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic models. We show how to formulate the c…
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…
A new restriction for initially stressed elastic solids
Artur Lewis Gower, Tom Shearer, Pasquale Ciarletta
We introduce a fundamental restriction on the strain energy function and stress tensor for initially stressed elastic solids. The restriction applies to strain energy functions …
