    • Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity 

      Gower, A. L.; Ciarletta, P.; Destrade, M. (The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)
      An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ...

    • Oblique wrinkles 

      Carfagna, M.; Destrade, M.; Gower, A. L.; Grillo, A. (The Royal Society, 2017-04-03)
      We prove theoretically that when a soft solid is subjected to an extreme deformation, wrinkles can form on its surface at an angle that is oblique to a principal direction of stretch. These oblique wrinkles occur for a ...

    • On stress-dependent elastic moduli and wave speeds 

      Destrade, M.; Ogden, R. W. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-03-30)
      On the basis of the general non-linear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine explicit expressions for the stress-dependent ...

    • Quantitative polymorph contaminant analysis in tablets using raman and near infra-red spectroscopies 

      Hennigan, Michelle C.; Ryder, Alan G. (Elsevier BV, 2013-01-01)

    • Shear instability in skin tissue 

      Ciarletta, P.; Destrade, M.; Gower, A. L. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-04-14)
      We propose two toy-models to describe, predict and interpret the wrinkles appearing on the surface of skin when it is sheared. With the first model, we account for the lines of greatest tension present in human skin by ...
