The effect of a longitudinal stretch and a pressure-induced inhomogeneous radial deformation on the scattering of antiplane elastic waves from a cylindrical cavity is determined. Three popular nonlinear strain energy functions are considered: the neo-Hookean, the Mooney-Rivlin and a two-term Arruda-Boyce model. A new method is developed to analyse and solve the governing wave equations. It expl...

zygophyllum atriplicoides is one of the most important rangeland plants that often seen as associated species and rarely seen as the dominant species in ranglands rangelands which is very critical for soil  in starting and ending points of each transect. measured soil properties (included gravel, texture, organic matter, lime, ph and electrical conductivity) and physiography (elevation and slop...

Baxter permutations apparently first arose in attempts to prove the “commuting function” conjecture of Dyer (see [I]), namely, if f and g are continuous functions mapping [0, l] into [0, l] which commute under composition, then they have a common fixed point. Although numerous partial results were obtained for the conjecture (e.g., see [l, 3, 7, IO]), it was ultimately shown in 1967 to be false...

We present a method to control wave propagation in highly deformable layered media by utilizing elastic insta-bility-induced wrinkling of interfacial layers. The onset of a wrinkling instability in initially straight interfacial layersoccurs when a critical compressive strain or stress is achieved [1]. Further compression beyond the critical strainleads to an increase in the wri...

How to repair the injured spinal cord is a question that scientists have struggled with for decades. The answer is of course still a mystery. But ask people on the street for their opinion and they will likely offer something like “stem cells” as the solution. I find it amusing (and honestly, a bit annoying) that family and friends continue to ask me if there is anything new with stem cells. My...

BOYCE, CURTIS WESLEY. Augmented Reality as a Perceptual Aid in Robot Teleoperation. (Under the direction of Dr. Robert St. Amant). Robots have reached a level of sophistication such that it is now productive to include robot-assisted search teams in urban search and rescue scenarios. The perceptual interface to the human operator is frequently a video display that relays images from a camera on...

There are many causes for stones in the urinary tract (Melick and Henneman, 1958; Boyce and Bradshaw, 1961 ; Maurice and Henneman, 1961). These include the presence of urinary solutes in abnormally high concentrations (Hodgkinson and Pyrah, 1958 ; Nordin and Robertson, 1966), a variety of factors diminishing their solubility (Elliot et al., 1961 ; Howard et al., 1962; Metcalfe-Gibson et al., 19...

When an elastomeric material is subject to sufficiently high temperature, macromolecular network junctions can undergo time-dependent scission and re-crosslinking (healing). The material system then consists of molecular networks with different reference states. A constitutive framework, based on the experimental work of Tobolsky, is used to determine the evolution of deformation of a solid rub...

some numerical and experimental investigations are made on the performance of five different hyperelastic constitutive models (second order polynomial, yeoh, arruda-boyce, ogden and marlow) in tension and compressionmodes. first, the results of the tensile and compression tests on a rubber sample were used to determine the parameters of the models by curve fitting methods. next, by using an alg...
