In recent work it was clarified that amorphous solids under strain control do not possess nonlinear elastic theory in the sense that the shear modulus exists but nonlinear moduli exhibit sample to sample fluctuations that grow without bound…
On the basis of the general nonlinear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine explicit expressions for the stress-dependent tensor of…
Elastographic imaging is a widely used technique which can in principle be implemented on top of every imaging modality. In elastography, the specimen is exposed to a force causing local displacements in the probe, and imaging is performed…
Elastography provides significant information on staging of fibrosis in patients with liver disease and may be of some value in assessing steatosis. However, there remain questions as to the role of steatosis and fibrosis as cofactors…
