2014 It is shown that the application of an external temperature gradient across the materials with strain dependent dielectric constant can lead to amplify an acoustic wave even when the drift velocity of the electrons is less than the velocity of sound.

Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of the influence of the strain rate in laser forming are presented. To isolate and effectively study the strain rate effects, which are temperature dependent, a ‘‘constant peak temperature’’ method is developed with the aid of numerical modeling and solution. Under the condition of the constant peak temperature, the effects of strain rate on f...

The stability theories energetically associated with different finite strain measures are equivalent if the tangential moduli are transformed as a function of the stress. However, for homogenized soft-in-shear composites, they can differ greatly if the material is in small-strain and constant elastic moduli measured in small-strain tests are used. Only one theory can then be correct. The preced...
