Biological and synthetic materials often exhibit intrinsic variability in their elastic responses under large strains, owing to microstructural inhomogeneity or when elastic data are …
Stability is an important and fruitful avenue of research for liquid crystal elastomers. At constant temperature, upon stretching, the homogeneous state of a nematic body becomes …

We combine the rate-formulation for the objective, corotational Zaremba-Jaumann rate\begin {align}\frac {{\rm D}^{\rm ZJ}}{{\rm D} t}[\sigma]=\mathbb {H}^{\rm ZJ}(\sigma) …

The classical generalized formulations for nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour do not represent the state of the art of modelling elastomeric materials and significant effects observed on …
Stochastic elasticity is a fast developing field that combines nonlinear elasticity and stochastic theories in order to significantly improve model predictions by accounting for …
We investigate a finite element formulation of the exponentiated Hencky-logarithmic model whose strain energy function is given by W_ eH (F)= μ k\, e^\displaystyle k\left|| dev _n\log …

In this note, we show that the Cauchy stress tensor σ σ in nonlinear elasticity is injective along rank-one connected lines provided that the constitutive law is strictly rank-one convex …

In isotropic finite elasticity, unlike in linear elastic theory, a homogeneous Cauchy stress may be induced by non-homogeneous strains. To illustrate this, we identify compatible non …
We reconsider anti-plane shear deformations based on prior work of Knowles and relate the existence of anti-plane shear deformations to fundamental constitutive concepts of elasticity …
