Soft materials can be designed with a functionally graded (FG) property for specific
applications. Such material inhomogeneity can also be found in many soft biological tissues …

This work has explored surface/interface theory-based torsional wave propagation in a
piezoelectric fiber-reinforced composite (PFRC) layer on top of a functionally graded elastic …

Wave propagation analysis of pre-stressed incompressible hyperelastic thin multi-layered
plates is developed based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) with …

The paper studies the influence of the initial inhomogeneous thermal stresses on the
dispersion of the axisymmetric longitudinal waves propagating in the bi-layered hollow …

The paper studies the axisymmetric longitudinal wave propagation in a bi-layered hollow
cylinder with inhomogeneous initial stresses by utilizing the 3D linearized theory of elastic …

We introduce a fundamental restriction on the strain energy function and stress tensor for
initially stressed elastic solids. The restriction applies to strain energy functions that are …

Tubular dielectric elastomers function as actuators by application of a radial voltage
difference. This work demonstrates how the applied electric field can be exploited to …

In this paper, the radially and axially symmetric motions are examined for a hyperelastic
cylindrical tube composed of a class of transversely isotropic compressible neo-Hookean …

The radial propagation of the steady-state wave motion is studied for a pre-stressed
cylindrical shell composed of the isotropic compressible neo-Hookean material. The radial …

Solitary waves in hyperelastic structures propagate stably in absence of external forces.
However, as the external forces increase, the stability of solitary waves may lose and then …
