in this article, a transversely isotropic linear elastic half-space with depth wise isotropy axis of material containing a cylindrical cavity of finite length is considered to be under the effect of an arbitrary torsion force applied on the wall of the cavity. to this end, the equation of equilibrium has been written in a cylindrical coordinate system, by dividing the involved domain to two reg...

Percolation phenomena play central roles in the eld of poroelasticity, where two distinct sets of percolating continua intertwine. A connected solid frame forms the basis of the elastic behavior of a poroelastic medium in the presence of external con ning forces, while connected pores permit a percolating uid (if present) to in uence the mechanical response of the system from within. The presen...

The dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. With the help of displacements and stresses Green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface l...

In the present work, a hyperelastic constitutive model based on neural networks is proposed which fulfills all common conditions by construction, and in particular, applicable to compressible material behavior. Using different sets of invariants as inputs, potential formulated convex network, thus fulfilling symmetry stress tensor, objectivity, symmetry, polyconvexity, thermodynamic consistency...
