    • Fine tuning the electro-mechanical response of dielectric elastomers 

      Zurlo, Giuseppe; Destrade, Michel; Lu, Tongqing (AIP Publishing, 2018-10-16)
      We propose a protocol to model accurately the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomer membranes using experimental data of stress-stretch and voltage-stretch tests. We show how the relationship between electric ...

    • The Poynting effect 

      Zurlo, Giuseppe; Blackwell, James; Colgan, Niall; Destrade, Michel (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.
