Unsteady motions of degrading or aging linearized elastic solids Academic Article

abstract

• Many structures are made of concrete and steel. The response characteristics of such structures that are exposed to the environment change due to its impact such as oxidation due to moisture. Usually the structural element "degrades" in that the load bearing capacity decreases; it also decreases due to "aging". On the other hand, chemicals are infused into biological systems in order to enhance their strength. Thus far, not much attention has been paid to studying such problems. In this investigation, we study the response of a linearized elastic solid whose material properties change due to the diffusion of a chemical. 2008.
