    • Bending control and stability of functionally graded dielectric elastomers 

      Su, Yipin; Ogden, Ray W.; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2021-01-18)
      A rectangular plate of dielectric elastomer exhibiting gradients of material properties through its thickness will deform inhomogeneously when a potential difference is applied to compliant electrodes on its major surfaces, ...

    • Bending instabilities of soft biological tissues 

      Destrade, Michel; Ní Annaidh, Aisling (Elsevier, 2009-12-15)
      Rubber components and soft biological tissues are often subjected to large bending deformations while 'in service'. The circumferential line elements on the inner face of a bent block can contract up to a certain critical ...

    • Wrinkles in the opening angle method 

      Destrade, Michel; Lusetti, Irene; Mangan, Robert; Sigaeva, Taisiya (Elsevier, 2017-06-10)
      We investigate the stability of the deformation modeled by the opening angle method, often used to give a measure of residual stresses in arteries and other biological soft tubular structures. Specifically, we study the ...
