    • Large acoustoelastic effect 

      Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2012-03)
      Classical acoustoelasticity couples small-amplitude elastic wave propagation to an infinitesimal pre-deformation, in order to reveal and evaluate non-destructively third-order elasticity constants. Here, we see that ...
    • Large amplitude Love waves 

      Destrade, Michel (Oxford Journals, 2008-04-22)
      In the context of the finite elasticity theory, we consider a model for compressible solids called 'compressible neo-Hookean material'. We show how finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and finite-amplitude ...
    • Learning latent semantic relations from clickthrough data for query suggestion 

      Yang, Haixuan (2008)
      For a given query raised by a specific user, the Query Suggestion technique aims to recommend relevant queries which potentially suit the information needs of that user. Due to the complexity of the Web structure and the ...

      [no abstract available]
    • Lower bounds on the non-Clifford resources for quantum computations 

      Beverland, Michael; Campbell, Earl; Howard, Mark; Kliuchnikov, Vadym (IOP Publishing, 2020-05-28)
      Treating stabilizer operations as free, we establish lower bounds on the number of resource states, also known as magic states, needed to perform various quantum computing tasks. Our bounds apply to adaptive computations ...
    • Magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterials 

      Zhang, Quan; Cherkasov, Andrei V.; Arora, Nitesh; Hu, Gengkai; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2023)
      We propose a magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterial. The tunable metamaterial integrates hard-Magnetic Active Elastomers (hMAEs) into the microstructural design combining snap-through, bi-stability, and ...
    • Magneto-deformation and transverse elastic waves in hard-magnetic soft laminates 

      Zhang, Quan; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2022-04-28)
      We study the magneto-mechanical behavior of periodic laminates made of hard-magnetic active elastomers (HMAEs). We formulate the amended free-energy function for HMAEs, and derive an explicit expression for the induced ...
    • Magnetoactive asymmetric mechanical metamaterial for tunable elastic cloaking 

      Zhang, Quan; Hu, Gengkai; Rudykh, Stephan (Elsevier, 2024-01-08)
      We propose a magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterial for tunable transformation-based elastic cloaking. The metamaterial is designed by integrating hard-Magnetic Active Elastomers (hMAEs) and combining ...
    • A mathematical model for the release of peptide-binding drugs from affinity hydrogels 

      Meere, Martin G. (Palgrave, 2015-01-09)
      A mathematical model for the release of peptide-binding drugs from affinity hydrogels is analyzed in detail. The model is not specific to any particular peptide/drug/gel system, and can describe drug release from a large ...
    • A Maximal Eigenvalue Method for Detecting Process Representative Genes by Integrating Data from Multiple Sources 

      Yang, Haixuan (2008)
      An important problem in computational biology is the identification of candidate genes which can be considered as representative of the different cellular processes taking place in the cell as it evolves through time. ...
    • Measuring knife stab penetration into skin simulant using a novel biaxial tension device 

      Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2008)
      This paper describes the development and use of a biaxial measurement device to analyse the mechanics of knife stabbings. In medicolegal situations it is typical to describe the consequences of a stabbing incident in ...
    • Measuring the linear and nonlinear elastic properties of brain tissue with shear waves and inverse analysis 

      Jiang, Yi; Li, Guoyang; Qian, Lin-Xue; Liang, Si; Destrade, Michel; Cao, Yanping (Springer, 2015-02-20)
      We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the ...
    • Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in compression at dynamic strain rates 

      Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2012-03-02)
      Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when local mechanical load exceeds certain tolerance levels for brain tissue. Extensive research has been done previously for brain matter experiencing compression at quasistatic loading; ...
    • Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates 

      Rashid, Badar; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2013-12)
      During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs in animals and humans when ...
    • Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in tension at dynamic strain rates 

      Rashid, B,Destrade, M,Gilchrist, MD; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2012-09-10)
      Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is crucial for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences compression, tension and shear. Limited ...

      Chen, Vincent W.; Arora, Nitesh; Goshkoderia, Artemii; Willey, Carson L.; Turgut, Zafer; Buskohl, Philip R.; Rudykh, Stephan; Juhl, Abigail T. (Elsevier, 2022-12-28)
      Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) can change their shape and properties when activated by an external magnetic field. The attractive tunable properties of this stimuli-responsive composite can be further amplified by ...

    • Methodical fitting for mathematical models of rubber-like materials 

      Destrade, Michel; Saccomandi, Giuseppe; Sgura, Ivonne (The Royal Society Publishing, 2017-02-08)
      A great variety of models can describe the nonlinear response of rubber to uniaxial tension. Yet an in-depth understanding of the successive stages of large extension is still lacking. We show that the response can be ...
