On the thermodynamic consistency of Quasi-linear viscoelastic models for soft solids
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)
Originating in the field of biomechanics, Fung's model of quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) is one of the most popular constitutive theories employed to compute the time-dependent relationship between stress and deformation ...
An ultrasonic method to measure stress without calibration: The angled shear wave identity.
(Acoustical Society of America, 2020-12-03)
Measuring stress levels in loaded structures is crucial to assess and monitor structure health and to predict the length
of remaining structural life. Many ultrasonic methods are able to accurately predict in-plane stresses ...
Mechanics of human brain organoids
(American Physical Society, 2020-01-02)
Organoids are prototypes of human organs derived from cultured human stem cells. They provide a reliable and accurate experimental model to study the physical mechanisms underlying the early developmental stages of human ...
Structural and material electro-mechanical instabilities in microstructured dielectric elastomer plates
(Elsevier, 2022-02-18)
In this paper, we investigate the stability of microstructured dielectric elastomer (DE) plates under electro-mechanical finite deformations. We examine the influence of the DE composite microstructure parameters on the ...
Instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive composites
(American Physical Society, 2020-04-14)
Elastic instabilities can trigger dramatic microstructure transformations giving rise to unusual behavior in soft matter. Motivated by this phenomenon, we study instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive ...
Lectin microarray profiling demonstrates equivalent global glycosylation for whey protein ingredients enriched with α-lactalbumin and milk fat globule membrane
(Elsevier, 2022-12-22)
Human milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins are nutritionally and functionally valuable, with many beneficial bioactivities associated with their glycosylation. However glycosylation of milk components other ...
Mechanical instability tuning of a magnetorheological elastomer composite laminate
(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 ...
Magneto-deformation and transverse elastic waves in hard-magnetic soft laminates
(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 ...
Emergence of instability-driven domains in soft stratified materials
(Nature Research, 2022-05-02)
Nature frequently employs the buckling phenomenon to facilitate the formation of complicated patterns across length-scales. Current knowledge, however, is limited to a small set of buckling-induced microstructure transformations ...
