We investigate elastic wave propagation in finitely deformed dielectric elastomers in the presence of an electrostatic field. To analyze the propagation of both longitudinal (P-) and transverse (S-) waves, we utilize compressible material…
Elastic wave propagation provides a noninvasive way to probe granular materials. The discrete element method using particle configuration as input, allows a micromechanical interpretation on the acoustic response of a given granular system.…
We analyze the propagation of elastic waves in soft materials subjected to finite deformations. We derive explicit dispersion relations, and apply these results to study elastic wave propagation in (i) nearly incompressible materials such…
A refined dynamic finite-strain shell theory for incompressible hyperelastic materials was developed by the authors recently. In this paper, we first derive the associated linearized incremental theory, and then use it to investigate wave…
It is shown that information transmission inside a cell can occur by means of mechanical waves transmitted through DNA. The propagation of the waves is strongly dependent on the shape of the DNA thus proteins that change the shape of DNA…
In this study, the in-plane Bloch wave propagation and bandgaps in a finitely stretched square lattice were investigated numerically and theoretically. To be specific, the elastic band diagram was calculated for an infinite periodic…
The propagation of waves in soft dielectric elastomer layers is investigated. To this end incremental motions superimposed on homogeneous finite deformations induced by bias electric fields and pre-stretch are determined. First we examine…
Surface waves play important roles in many fundamental and applied areas from seismic detection to material characterizations. Supershear surface waves with propagation speeds greater than bulk shear waves have recently been reported, but…
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…
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a promising imaging modality for mechanical characterization of tissues, offering biomarkers with potential for early and precise diagnosis. While various methods have been developed to extract mechanical…
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
Fluid filled pipes are ubiquitous in both man-made constructions and living organisms. In the latter, biological pipes, such as arteries, have unique properties as their walls are made of soft, incompressible, highly deformable materials.…
We present numerical simulations of acoustic wave propagation in confined granular systems consisting of particles interacting with the three-dimensional Hertz-Mindlin force law. The response to a short mechanical excitation on one side of…
Using shear wave elastography, we measure the changes in the wave speed with the stress produced by a striated muscle during isometric voluntary contraction. To isolate the behaviour of an individual muscle from complementary or…
The propagation of elastic waves in soft materials plays a crucial role in the spatio-temporal transmission of mechanical signals, e.g. in biological mechanotransduction or in the failure of marginal solids. At high Reynolds numbers $Re \gg…
Wave propagation in architectured materials, or materials with microstructure, is known to be dependent on the ratio between the wavelength and a characteristic size of the microstructure. Indeed, when this ratio decreases (i.e. when the…
The propagation of incoherent elastic energy in a three-dimensional solid due to the scattering by many, randomly placed and oriented, pinned dislocation segments, is considered in a continuum mechanics framework. The scattering mechanism…
Due to the non-linearity of Hertzian contacts, the speed of sound $c$ in granular matter is expected to increase with pressure as $P^{1/6}$. A static layer of grains under gravity is thus stratified so that bulk waves are refracted toward…
This paper is concerned with an asymptotic analysis of the dispersion relation for wave propagation in an elastic layer of uniform thickness. The layer is subject to an underlying simple shear deformation accompanied by an arbitrary uniform…
Elastic wave dispersion is studied in an octet truss lattice and compared with a designed rib lattice known to exhibit strong Cosserat elastic effects. Dispersion entails variation of wave speed with frequency. The phenomenon is…
