On the incremental equations in surface elasticity (2024)
Journal Article
Yu, X., & Fu, Y. (in press). On the incremental equations in surface elasticity. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, https://doi.org/10.1177/10812865231226183

We derive the incremental equations for a hyperelastic solid that incorporate surface tension effect by assuming that the surface energy is a general function of the surface deformation gradient. The incremental equations take the same simple form as... Read More about On the incremental equations in surface elasticity.

'Hypocrite!' Affective and argumentative engagement on Twitter, following the Christchurch terrorist attack (2024)
Journal Article
de Quincey, E., Richardson, J. E., Giraud, E. H., & Poole, E. (2024). 'Hypocrite!' Affective and argumentative engagement on Twitter, following the Christchurch terrorist attack. Media, Culture and Society, https://doi.org/10.1177/01634437241229322

This article intervenes in debates about whether public-facing social media enable the rapid spread of hate speech, or whether these platforms can offer valuable opportunities to contest it. Advancing scholarship on ‘networked counter-publics’ and re... Read More about 'Hypocrite!' Affective and argumentative engagement on Twitter, following the Christchurch terrorist attack.

Barriers to device longevity and reuse: A vintage device empirical study (2024)
Journal Article
Goodwin, C., & Woolley, S. (2024). Barriers to device longevity and reuse: A vintage device empirical study. Journal of Systems and Software, 211, Article 111991. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2024.111991

This extended paper contributes a methodology and a detailed analysis of app installation and functionality on a ‘vintage’ device. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate barriers to the reuse of vintage Apple devices, and solutions are p...

Elastic bending and transverse compression of a thin plate with density-dependent Young’s modulus (2024)
Journal Article
Erbaş, B., Kaplunov, J., & Rajagopal, K. R. (2024). Elastic bending and transverse compression of a thin plate with density-dependent Young’s modulus. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 160, Article 104651. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2024.104651

The equilibrium equation governing the plane strain static problem for a thin elastic layer is studied using asymptotic analysis for a material with generalized Young’s modulus weakly dependent on the mass density. Within the context of the adopted s... Read More about Elastic bending and transverse compression of a thin plate with density-dependent Young’s modulus.
