Explicit expressions for inverse of Young's modulus E, inverse of shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio for cubic media are considered. All these characteristics of elastic media depend on three components of the compliance tensor S, and on…

Particle based methods such as the Discrete Element Method and the Lattice Spring Method may be used for describing the behaviour of isotropic linear elastic materials. However, the common bond models employed to describe the interaction…

Elastic anisotropy might be a combined effect of the intrinsic anisotropy and the anisotropy induced by thin-layering. The Backus average, a useful mathematical tool, allows us to describe such an effect quantitatively. The results are…

Models of smectic-C liquid crystal elastomers predict that it can display soft elasticity, in which the shape of the elastomer changes at no energy cost. The amplitude of the soft mode and the accompanying shears are dependent on the…

Using bases of fourth rank tensorial bases of complete Voigt's symmetry elaborated by Walpole we obtained expressions for inverse of Young's modulus E, inverse of shear modulus G and Poisson's ratio, which depend on components of the…

Anisotropies of Young's modulus E, the shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio of all 2D symmetry systems are studied. Simple necessary and sufficient conditions on their elastic compliances are derived to identify if any of these crystals are…

We propose a novel two-dimensional hierarchical auxetic structure consisting of a porous medium in which a homogeneous matrix includes a rank-two set of cuts characterised by different scales. The six-fold symmetry of the perforations makes…

Blackman's diagram of two dimensionless ratios of elastic constants is frequently used to correlate elastic properties of cubic crystals with interatomic bondings. Every's diagram of a different set of two dimensionless variables was used…

In metallic glasses a clear correlation had been established between plasticity or ductility with the Poisson ratio and alternatively the ratio of the elastic bulk modulus to the shear modulus, K/G. Such a correlation between these two…

This study introduces an innovative Isotropic Elastic Lattice Spring Model (IELSM) that addresses the fundamental limitation of classical lattice spring models: the constraint of fixed Poisson's ratio. By amending the total strain energy…

We have recently proposed an efficient computation method for the frictionless linear elastic axisymmetric contact of coated bodies [A. Perriot and E. Barthel, J. Mat. Res. 19 (2004) 600]. Here we give a brief description of the approach.…

We examine a fundamental material property called Poisson's ratio, which establishes the relationship for the relative deformation of a physical system in orthogonal directions. Architects and engineers have designed advanced systems using…

A $d$-dimensional Ising model on a lattice torus is considered. As the size $n$ of the lattice tends to infinity, a Poisson approximation is given for the distribution of the number of copies in the lattice of any given local configuration,…

Fourth-rank tensors of complete Voigt's symmetry, that embody the elastic properties of crystalline anisotropic substances, were constructed for all 2D crystal systems. Using them we obtained explicit expressions for inverse of Young's…

This paper focuses on the conditions for obtaining auxetic, i.e. with a negative Poisson's ratio, composite laminates made of specially orthotropic layers. In particular, the layers considered are of three types: R1-orthotropic, i.e.…

The main result of this work is a homogenization theorem via variational convergence for elastic materials with stiff checkerboard-type heterogeneities under the assumptions of physical growth and non-self-interpenetration. While the…

Using density functional theory combined with a semi-empirical van der Waals dispersion correction, we have investigated the stability of lattice defects including boron vacancy, substitutional and interstitial X (X=H, C, B, N, O) and…

Randomly textured polycrystalline materials of constituents with highly anisotropic nature of grains can be considered globally isotropic. In order to determine the isotropic properties, like elasticity or conductivity, we propose a theory…

In this third and final paper of a series, elastic properties of numerically simulated isotropic packings of spherical beads assembled by different procedures and subjected to a varying confining pressure P are investigated. In addition P,…

Finite element analysis of soft tissues is a well-developed method that allows estimation of mechanical quantities (e.g. stresses, strains). A constitutive law has to be used to characterise the individual tissues. This is complex as…
