Post-buckling development in soft particulate composites
(Elsevier, 2023-07-26)In this paper, we investigate the post-buckling development of instability-induced patterns in soft particulate composites. Upon reaching the critical strain level, the composite experiences microstructural buckling. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Magnetic field-induced asymmetric mechanical metamaterials
(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 ... -
Towards understanding the role of viscoelasticity in microstructural buckling in soft particulate composites
(Elsevier, 2023)This work investigates the interplay between viscoelasticity and instabilities in soft particulate composites undergoing finite deformation. The composite is subjected to in-plane deformation at various constant strain ... -
Nonlinear elastic vector solitons in hard-magnetic soft mechanical metamaterials
(Elsevier, 2023-07-14)We propose a design of a metamaterial for magnetically tunable propagation of nonlinear vector solitary waves. The metamaterial consists of a periodic array of units of hard-magnetic inclusion embedded in a soft matrix. ... -
The Poynting effect
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2020-11-19)Intuition suggests that twisting a cylinder will shorten it, but here it is shown that for a cylinder of an incompressible material, like rubber, twisting will always produce elongation. -
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 ... -
Perspectives on allele-specific expression
(Annual Reviews, 2021-04-28)Diploidy has profound implications for population genetics and susceptibility to genetic diseases. Although two copies are present for most genes in the human genome, they are not necessarily both active or active at the ... -
The Varchenko determinant of a Coxeter arrangement
(De Gruyter, 2018)The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of a matrix defined from an arrangement of hyperplanes. Varchenko proved that this determinant has a beautiful factorization. It is, however, not possible to use this factorization ... -
On the invariants of the cohomology of complements of Coxeter arrangements
(Elsevier, 2019-05-24)We refine Brieskorn's study of the cohomology of the complement of the reflection arrangement of a finite Coxeter group W. As a result we complete the verification of a conjecture by Felder and Veselov that gives an explicit ... -
Proton resonance frequency shift thermometry: A review of modern clinical practices
(Wiley, 2020-11-20)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a popular modality in guiding minimally invasive thermal therapies, due to its advanced, nonionizing, imaging capabilities and its ability to record changes in temperature. A ... -
Nonlinear response and axisymmetric wave propagation in functionally graded soft electro-active tubes
(Elsevier, 2020-10-02)Soft electro-active (SEA) materials can be designed and manufactured with gradients in their material properties, to modify and potentially improve their mechanical response in service. Here, we investigate the nonlinear ... -
Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury
(Springer, 2018-11-14)The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ... -
Stability analysis of charge-controlled soft dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-04-06)We examine the stability of a soft dielectric plate deformed by the coupled effects of a mechanical pre-stress applied on its lateral faces and an electric field applied through its thickness under charge control. The ... -
Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional finite-element model of a single neuron
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-14)Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the interdependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electrothermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing ... -
Pattern evolution in bending dielectric-elastomeric bilayers
(Elsevier, 2019-07-24)We propose theoretical and numerical analyses of smart bending deformation of a dielectric-elastic bilayer in response to a voltage, based on the nonlinear theory of electro-elasticity and the associated linearized incremental ... -
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
