Consider the constitutive law for an isotropic elastic solid with the strain-energy function expanded up to the fourth order in the strain and the stress up to the third order in the strain. The stress-strain relation can then be inverted to give the strain in terms of the stress with a view to considering the incompressible limit. For this purpose, use of the logarithmic strain tensor is of particular value. It enables the limiting values of all nine fourth-order elastic constants in the incompressible limit to be evaluated precisely and rigorously. In particular, it is explained why the three constants of fourth-order incompressible elasticity μ, Ā, and D are of the same order of magnitude. Several examples of application of the results follow, including determination of the acoustoelastic coefficients in incompressible solids and the limiting values of the coefficients of nonlinearity for elastic wave propagation.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers used density-functional theory to study the stability of beryllium metasilicate (BeSiO) and found it to be stable at pressures above 9 GPa, proposing the orthorhombic perovskite structure as the most stable form.
- They provided detailed measurements for this structure, including specific unit-cell parameters and calculated the material's elastic properties, such as phonon frequencies and bulk modulus, which was determined to be 242 GPa.
- The study also explored how BeSiO's unit-cell dimensions change under pressure, revealing its slight anisotropic compression and contributing to a better understanding of its mechanical behavior and bonding characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists predict a new strong type of RhB that works well as a superconductor under really high pressure (300 GPa).
- This new phase is better than what was thought before and is very stable, thanks to strong bonds between its atoms.
- It can resist being squished and superconductor properties are also examined, making it useful for tough conditions.
An improved analytical solution on viscous dissipation effect in extended Stokes' second problem in microchannel with isothermal boundaries.

Multimedia University, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jalan Ayer Keroh Lama, Post Code 75450, Melaka, Malaysia.
In this analytical study, the fluid motion within a microchannel is induced by the oscillation of one surface parallel to the other stationary surface, termed the extended Stokes' problem. The novelty and research gap are acquiring the thermal effect of such motion due to the viscous dissipation or fluid friction, subject to symmetric isothermal boundary conditions. The study may shed light on the role of viscous dissipation in temperature rise in the synovial fluid of an artificial hip joint, or in the fluid layer of a mechanical bearing.

Article Synopsis
- This study developed a comprehensive 3D circulatory system to investigate the self-priming characteristics of a self-priming pump on a mobile pump truck, incorporating key components like a tank and valves.
- User Defined Functions (UDF) were utilized to simulate the impeller's acceleration and constant speed operation, offering insight into the realistic changes in rotational speed during the pump's operation.
- The self-priming process was categorized into four stages, with each stage contributing increasingly to the total self-priming time, highlighting patterns like fluctuating water levels in the inlet pipe and energy losses in specific regions of the pump.
Nonlinear Poisson effect in affine semiflexible polymer networks.

Stretching an elastic material along one axis typically induces contraction along the transverse axes, a phenomenon known as the Poisson effect. From these strains, one can compute the specific volume, which generally either increases or, in the incompressible limit, remains constant as the material is stretched. However, in networks of semiflexible or stiff polymers, which are typically highly compressible yet stiffen significantly when stretched, one instead sees a significant reduction in specific volume under finite strains.
