During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation,
which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Diffuse axonal injury …

The relaxation method has enjoyed an intensive development during many decades and
this new edition of this comprehensive text reflects in particular the main achievements in the …

This book is motivated by stimulating problems in contact mechanics, emphasizing antiplane
frictional contact with linearly elastic and viscoelastic materials. It focuses on the essentials …

In this paper, we consider the anti-plane shear problem of an elliptic inclusion embedded in
an infinite, isotropic, elastic medium, subjected at infinity to a uniform stress field. Using …

2 RW Ogden material consisting of one or two families of fibres are also discussed. The
modifications to the constitutive laws when internal constraints such as incompressibility and …

The current study examines the propagation of surface waves in an asymmetric rotating
doubly coated nonhomogeneous half space. The coating layers are assumed to be made of …

In this paper we consider a theory of viscoelastic mixtures proposed in Ieşan (2004). In this
theory the dissipation effects are determined by the viscosity of rate type of a constituent and …

In this paper, a nonconforming discretization method for the frictional contact between two
bodies subjected to antiplane shear deformation is considered. The method is based on a …

We consider a nonlinear antiplane problem which models the deformation of an elastic
cylindrical body in frictional contact with a rigid foundation. The contact is modelled with …

We consider a general boundary value problem involving operators of the form div (a (·,∇ u
(·)) in which a is a Carathéodory function satisfying ap (·)-growth condition. We are interested …
