Nonlinear elastic inclusions in isotropic solids
We introduce a geometric framework to calculate the residual stress fields and deformations of nonlinear solids with inclusions and eigenstrains. Inclusions are regions in a body with different reference configurations from the body itself and can be described by distributed eigenstrains. Geometrically, the eigenstrains define a Riemannian 3-manifold in which the body is stress-free by construction. The problem of residual stress calculation is then reduced to finding a mapping from the Riemannian material manifold to the ambient Euclidean space.
Any one could introduce some basic materials about membrane vibration
Recently, I have decided research about membrane vibration. Any one could introduce some basic materials about membrane vibration?Thanks!
