.: Geeky stuff indeed

Now “it” has a name, and “it” here refers to the research that I am working on.

“Application of toroidal visc0-hyperelastic devices for structural seismic response control”

Structural/earthquake engineers may be able to comprehend it, but the *other* people can just gawk and say, “Pretty cool stuff he’s working on !”. I will however, try to define a few of the above terms.

Toroidal : A surface generated by a closed curve rotating about, but not intersecting or containing, an axis in its own plane. In simple non-math terms, something that looks like a donut.
Viscoelasticity : A time depend material behavior where the stress response of that material depends on both the strain applied and the strain rate at which it was applied.
Hyperelasticity : A behavior, which could be due to geometry or material property, that results in the material having a nonlinear elastic stress-strain relationship.
