XVI. International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity of Materials

Conference - Prague, June 5–11, 2011, Conference Center in Husova 236/6, Prague

Dynamic nonlinear elastic behaviour, non equilibrium dynamics, first observed as a curiosity In earth materials has now been observed in a great variety of solids. The primary manifestations of the behaviour are characteristic wave distortion, and slow dynamics, a recovery process to equilibrium that takes place linearly with the logarithm of time, over hours to days after a wave disturbance.  »»»
