    • Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons 

      Mangan, Robert; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2015)
      We revisit an iconic deformation of non-linear elasticity: the inflation of a rubber spherical thin shell. We use the 3-parameter Mooney and Gent-Gent (GG) phenomenological models to explain the stretch-strain curve of a ...

    • Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity 

      Gower, Artur Lewis; Destrade, Michel (The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)
      An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ...

    • Introduction to the special issue on stability under finite deformation 

      Destrade, Michel; Saccomandi, Giuseppe (Oxford University Press, 2010)
      In the botanical gardens of Grenoble, France, there is small bridge, just a few metres long, made of pre-stressed concrete. The bridge dates back to 1855 and is thought to be the oldest manufactured pre-stressed structure ...

    • Oblique wrinkles 

      Carfagna, M.; Destrade, Michel; Gower, Artur L.; Grillo, A. (The Royal Society Publishing, 2017-04-03)
      We prove theoretically that when a soft solid is subjected to an extreme deformation, wrinkles can form on its surface at an angle that is oblique to a principal direction of stretch. These oblique wrinkles occur for a ...
