The generalised Mooney space for modelling the response of rubber-like materials
(Springer, 2022-03-23)
Soft materials such as rubbers, silicones, gels and biological tissues have a nonlinear response to large deformations, a phenomenon which in principle can be captured by hyperelastic models. The suitability of a candidate ...
Plane-polarised finite-amplitude shear waves in deformed incompressible materials
(SAGE Publications, 2022-04-07)
We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of motion reduce to a well-determined system ...
Canceling the elastic Poynting effect with geometry
(American Physical Society, 2023-05-24)
The Poynting effect is a paragon of nonlinear soft matter mechanics. It is the tendency (found in all incompressible, isotropic, hyperelastic solids) exhibited by a soft block to expand vertically when sheared horizontally. ...
Global perspectives on operational excellence: unveiling critical failure factors and sustainable pathways
(Emerald, 2024-03-14)
Purpose
The purpose of this global study is to investigate the critical failure factors (CFFs) in the deployment of operational excellence (OPEX) programs as well as the key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used ...
Occupational therapy in multiple sclerosis
(Cochrane Collaboration and Wiley, 2023-05-03)
Objectives
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:
Main objective
To assess the benefits and harms of occupational therapy interventions for improving daily functioning, ...
How do organizational performances vary between early adopters and late adopters of Quality 4.0? An exploratory qualitative study
(Emerald, 2023-08-24)
This study aims to investigate how early and late adopters of Q4.0 differ in terms of organizational performance.
The authors employed a grounded theory approach for interviewing 15 senior managers from diverse organizational ...
Global study into the pros and cons of ISO 18404: a convergent mixed method study and recommendations for further research
(Emerald, 2021-01-24)
Purpose
The paper aims to investigate the pros and cons of having a standard for lean six sigma developed in 2015. The study follows up on a previous study by Antony et al. (2021) in more depth and aims to provide a more ...
Magnetoelastic instabilities in soft laminates with ferromagnetic hyperelastic phases
(Elsevier, 2021-10-30)
We investigate the microscopic and macroscopic instabilities developing in magnetoactive elastomer (MAE) composites undergoing large deformations in the presence of an external magnetic field. In particular, we consider ...
Tunable buckling configurations via in-plane periodicity in soft 3D-fiber composites: Simulations and experiments
(Elsevier, 2022-05-24)
We study the buckling of soft 3D-fiber composites (FCs) with varying in-plane microstructure periodicity. Through our experiments and simulations, we find that the out-of-plane buckling orientation of fibers is determined ...
