Analysis of a dilatation in a non-linearly elastic sphere

A 2nd order non-linear elastic material has been successfully modeled as a 2-layered spherical shell bonded to a rigid core. Based on this model, the mechanical state described by 5 elastic parameters, λ, μ, l, m, and n is investigated. These parameters can be numerically manipulated to give desired...
