In this paper, we provide a new example of the solution of a finite deformation boundary-
value problem for a residually stressed elastic body. Specifically, we analyse the problem of …

The theory of superimposed incremental elastic deformations is applied to a deformed
configuration of a residually-stressed circular cylindrical tube. The tube is subject to internal …

Viscoelastic materials are often initially or residually stressed in the reference configuration.
This stress and associated configuration may also evolve temporally without any external …

In this paper the propagation of small amplitude surface waves guided by a layer with a finite
thickness on an incompressible half-space is studied. The layer and half-space are both …

This paper investigates the propagation of Rayleigh surface waves in a rotating semi-infinite
solid medium, permeated by an initial magnetic field in the context of linear nonlocal …

An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as
thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this …

In this paper, we investigate the influence of residual stress on the stability of a solid circular
cylinder subject to axial extension. The nonlinear theory of elasticity is used to derive the …

Linear theory of micropolar elasticity has potential applications in exploration of materials
made from bar-like molecules with micro-rotational effects. This theory is employed to …

In this paper, a discussion on the effects of initial stress and finite deformation on the speed
of Love waves propagating along the boundary between a half-space and a layer is carried …

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 …
