Hyperelastic transformation theory has proven shear-wave manipulation devices with various functions can be designed by utilizing neo-Hookean material with appropriate pre-deformation. However, it is still elusive that how can such devices…
We investigate the elastic wave propagation in various hyperelastic materials which subjected to simple-shear deformation. Two compressible types of three conventional hyperelastic models are considered. We found pure elastic wave modes can…
An incremental wave superimposed on a pre-deformed hyper-elastic material perceives an elastic media with the instantaneous modulus of the current material. This offers a new route with a broadband feature to control elastic waves by…
Transformation elasticity, by analogy with transformation acoustics and optics, converts material domains without altering wave properties, thereby enabling cloaking and related effects. By noting the similarity between transformation…
Soft materials such as rubber and hydrogels are commonly used in industry for their excellent hyperelastic behaviour. There are various types of constitutive models for soft materials, and phenomenological models are very popular for finite…
We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear or torsion…
Three general modes are distinguished in the deformation of a thin shell; these are stretching, drilling, and bending. Of these, the drilling mode is the one more likely to emerge in a soft matter shell (as compared to a hard, structural…
Soft materials exhibit significant nonlinear geometric deformations and stress-strain relationships under external forces. This paper explores weakly nonlinear elasticity theories, including Landau's and Murnaghan's formulations, advancing…
An unconstrained, non-linearly elastic, semi-infinite solid is maintained in a state of large static plane strain. A power-law relation between the pre-stretches is assumed and it is shown that this assumption is well-motivated physically…
Objective - Shear wave elastography has enriched ultrasound medical imaging with quantitative measurements of tissue stiffness. However, this method still suffers from some limitations due to viscoelasticity, guiding geometry or static…
Continuum strain energy functions are developed for soft biological tissues that possess long fibrillar components. The treatment is based on the model of an elastica, which is our fine scale model, and is homogenized in a simple fashion to…
The band structure in phononic crystals (PCs) is usually affected by the deformations of their soft components. In this work, hyperelastic transformation media is proposed to be integrated in the PCs'design, to achieve stable elastic…
A transformation method based on elastic ray theory is proposed to control high frequency elastic waves. We show that ray path can be controlled in an exact manner, however energy distribution along the ray is only approximately controlled.…
In this paper we analyze the effect of a combined pure homogeneous strain and simple shear in a principal plane of the latter on the propagation of surface waves for an incompressible isotropic elastic half-space whose boundary is normal to…
This work considers the application of the virtual element method to plane hyperelasticity problems with a novel approach to the selection of stabilization parameters. The method is applied to a range of numerical examples and well known…
Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has been studied extensively, the study of their dynamic…
The mechanical behaviour of isotropic and incompressible vulcanized natural rubbers (NR's) and that of quasi-incompressible carbon black filled vulcanized natural rubbers (NR 70) are considered both theoretically and experimentally. Based…
We design a two-dimensional ultra-thin elastic metasurface consisting of steel cores coated with elliptical rubbers embedded in epoxy matrix, capable of manipulating bulk elastic wave modes for reflected waves. The energy exchanges between…
We give conditions on the strain-energy function of nonlinear anisotropic hyperelastic materials that ensure compatibility with the classical linear theories of anisotropic elasticity. We uncover the limitations associated with the…
A periodically patterned free surface with inclined slits can convert an incident compressional wave into a reflected shear wave with nearly complete efficiency at very low frequency. The system is described by two-dimensional in-plane…
