Occupational therapy in multiple sclerosis
(Cochrane Collaboration and Wiley, 2023-05-03)Objectives This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Main objective To assess the benefits and harms of occupational therapy interventions for improving daily functioning, ... -
The Ogden model of rubber mechanics: 50 years of impact on nonlinear elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2022-08-29)We place the Ogden model of rubber elasticity, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society 50 years ago, in the wider context of the theory of nonlinear elasticity. We then follow with a short interview of Ray Ogden FRS ... -
Plane-polarised finite-amplitude shear waves in deformed incompressible materials
(SAGE Publications, 2022-04-07)We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of motion reduce to a well-determined system ... -
Programmable wrinkling for functionally-graded auxetic circular membranes
(Elsevier, 2023-07-13)Materials with negative Poisson¿s ratio, also known as auxetic materials, display exotic properties such as expansion in all directions under uni-axial tension. For their unique properties, these materials find a broad ... -
Pulsed electric field ablation of epicardial autonomic ganglia: Computer analysis of monopolar electric field across the tissues involved
(MDPI, 2022-11-27)Background and objectives: Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) ablation has been proposed as a non-thermal energy to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by epicardial ablation of ganglionated plexi (GP), which are embedded within ... -
Representing the stress and strain energy of elastic solids with initial stress and transverse texture anisotropy.
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-12)Real-world solids, such as rocks, soft tissues and engineering materials, are often under some form of stress. Most real materials are also, to some degree, anisotropic due to their microstructure, a characteristic often ... -
Singular travelling waves in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type
(Elsevier, 2023-09-25)We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility, as well as stress- and strain-rate ... -
Stochastic modelling of pesticide transport to drinking water sources via runoff and resulting human health risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)A modelling framework was developed to facilitate a probabilistic assessment of health risks posed by pesticide exposure via drinking water due to runoff, with the inclusion of influential site conditions and in-stream ... -
Tunable buckling configurations via in-plane periodicity in soft 3D-fiber composites: Simulations and experiments
(Elsevier, 2022-05-24)We study the buckling of soft 3D-fiber composites (FCs) with varying in-plane microstructure periodicity. Through our experiments and simulations, we find that the out-of-plane buckling orientation of fibers is determined ... -
Voltage-controlled topological interface states for bending waves in soft dielectric phononic crystal plates
(Elsevier, 2022-11-19)The operating frequency range of passive topological phononic crystals is generally fixed and narrow, limiting their practical applications. To overcome this difficulty, here we design and investigate a one-dimensional ...
