A slender thread of elastic hydrogel is susceptible to a surface instability that is reminiscent of the classical Rayleigh-Plateau instability of liquid jets. The final, highly nonlinear states that are observed in experiments arise from a…

Rheological properties of chiral active materials have been an important area of research in the recent past, in particular regarding odd terms in their mechanical response. While much progress has been made in the study of odd viscous…
We investigate the equilibrium configurations of closed planar elastic curves of fixed length, whose stiffness, also known as the bending rigidity, depends on an additional density variable. The underlying variational model relies on the…
Chiral active fluids break both time-reversal and parity symmetry, leading to exotic transport phenomena unobservable in ordinary passive fluids. We develop a generalized Green-Kubo relation for the anomalous lift experienced by a passive…
We investigate universal deformations in compressible isotropic Cauchy elastic solids with residual stress, without assuming any specific source for the residual stress. We show that universal deformations must be homogeneous, and the…
In recent work, we developed a screening theory for describing the effect of plastic events in amorphous solids on its emergent mechanics. The suggested theory uncovered an anomalous mechanical response of amorphous solids where plastic…
We study the quadratic invariants of the elasticity tensor in the framework of its unique irreducible decomposition. The key point is that this decomposition generates the direct sum reduction of the elasticity tensor space. The…
Spatial non-locality of space-fractional viscoelastic equations of motion is studied. Relaxation effects are accounted for by replacing second-order time derivatives by lower-order fractional derivatives and their generalizations. It is…
We study the collective behaviour of a close packed monolayer of non-Brownian particles at a fluid-liquid interface. Such a particle raft forms a two-dimensional elastic solid and can support anisotropic stresses and strains, e.g. it…

Microscopic symmetries impose strong constraints on the elasticity of a crystalline solid. In addition to the usual spatial symmetries captured by the tensorial character of the elastic tensor, hidden non-spatial symmetries can occur…
We consider the Cauchy problem for 2-D incompressible isotropic elastodynamics. Standard energy methods yield local solutions on a time interval $[0,{T}/{\epsilon}]$, for initial data of the form $\epsilon U_0$, where $T$ depends only on…
We study the long-time behavior of an elliptic rigid body which is allowed to vertically translate and rotate in a 2D unbounded channel under the action of a Poiseuille flow at large distances. The motion of the fluid is modelled by the…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the incompressible Euler equation in a time-dependent fluid domain, whose interface evolution is governed by the law of linear elasticity. Our main result asserts that the Cauchy problem is globally…
Euler buckling epitomises mechanical instabilities: An inextensible straight elastic line buckles under compression when the compressive force reaches a critical value $F_\ast>0$. Here, we extend this classical, planar instability to the…
Non-Euclidean plates are a subset of the class of elastic bodies having no stress-free configuration. Such bodies exhibit residual stress when relaxed from all external constraints, and may assume complicated equilibrium shapes even in the…
Odd viscoelastic materials are constrained by fewer symmetries than their even counterparts. The breaking of these symmetries allow these materials to exhibit different features, which have attracted considerable attention in recent years.…
Discrete nonlinear systems support a rich variety of localized and extended wave phenomena, with their dynamics sensitively dependent on the symmetries of the underlying interaction forces within the lattice. Odd elasticity, emerging in…
