Elastic Cherenkov effects in transversely isotropic soft materials-I: Theoretical analysis, simulations and inverse method

- The elastic Cerenkov effect in transversely isotropic (TI) soft materials is addressed.
- Shear waves induced by a moving source in a deformed TI solid are studied.
- An inverse method is proposed to infer anisotropic and hyperelastic parameters.
- The properties of the solution to the inverse method is investigated.
