A complete set of independent and physically meaningful invariants in the mechanics of solids reinforced by two families of fibres (2018)
Journal Article

It has recently been shown [2, 3] that only seven of the classical deformation invariants employed in hyperelasticity of solids reinforced by two families of unidirectional fibres are independent. This short communication demonstrates a manner in whi...

Individual preventive social distancing during an epidemic may have negative population-level outcomes (2018)
Journal Article

The outbreak of an infectious disease in a human population can lead to individuals responding with preventive measures in an attempt to avoid getting infected. This leads to changes in contact patterns. However, as we show in this paper, rational be...

On the characterisation of polar fibrous composites when fibres resist bending – Part II: Connection with anisotropic polar linear elasticity (2018)
Journal Article

This continuation of Part I (Soldatos, 2018) aims to make a connection between the polar linear elasticity for fibre-reinforce materials due to (Spencer and Soldatos, 2007; Soldatos, 2014, 2015) with the anisotropic version and the principal postulat...
