Using elastic waves, also known as ultrasonics, to measure materials or find defects
We prove theoretically that when a soft solid is subjected to an extreme deformation, wrinkles can form on its surface at an angle that is oblique to a principal direction of stretch. These oblique wrinkles occur for a strain that is smaller than the …
This MSc thesis is an exploration into the qualitative and quantitative behaviour of wave propagation with radial symmetry in materials which are prestressed elastic, isotropic and homogeneous. This type of model approximates an explosion in a solid, …
How do we mathematically describe the stresses and deformation of anisotropic soft solids.
