This paper investigates the elastic wave propagation through soft materials that are being
subjected to finite deformations. The nonlinear elastic and linearized incremental theories …

Material properties of soft electro-active (SEA) structures are significantly sensitive to
external electro-mechanical biasing fields (such as pre-stretch and electric stimuli), which …

We analyze elastic wave propagation in highly deformable layered media with isotropic
hyperelastic phases. Band gap structures are calculated for the periodic laminates …

We analyze small amplitude shear waves (SWs) propagating in dielectric elastomer (DE)
laminates subjected to finite deformations and electrostatic excitations. First, we derive long …

We investigate elastic wave propagation in finitely deformed dielectric elastomers in the

The purpose of this study is to compare five viscoelastic models (Voigt, Maxwell, standard
linear solid, spring-pot, and fractional Voigt models) for estimating viscoelastic properties …

Incremental elastic wave in a hyperelastic semi-linear (SL) material can be purposely
controlled by pre-deformation with help of hyperelastic transformation (HT) theory. However …

We investigate the propagation of shear waves in finitely deformed 3D fiber-reinforced
composites. We employ a micromechanics based approach and derive explicit expressions …

manipulating elastic wave transmission characteristics for next generation phononic …
