Soft electro-active (SEA) materials can be designed and manufactured with gradients in their material properties, to modify and potentially improve their mechanical response in service. Here, we investigate the nonlinear response of, and…
This article delves into the micro-macro modeling of polymeric fluids, considering various microscopic potential energies, including the classical Hookean potential, as well as newly proposed modified Morse and Elastic-plastic potentials.…
Active materials are media for which deformations can occur in absence of loads, given an external stimulus. Two approaches to the modeling of such materials are mainly used in literature, both based on the introduction of a new tensor: an…
Using the first principles calculations, we show that mechanically tunable electronic energy gap is realizable in bilayer graphene if different homogeneous strains are applied to the two layers. It is shown that the size of energy gap can…
Flexible strain sensors are critical to several potential intelligent applications, such as human-machine interfaces, soft robotics, human motion detection, and safety monitoring of components. Stretchable functional materials are important…
It is shown that nonlinear elastic pre-stress of neo-Hookean hyperelastic materials can be used as a mechanism to generate finite cloaks and thus render objects near-invisible to incoming antiplane elastic waves. This approach appears to…
Elastic full-waveform inversion (EFWI) is a process used to estimate subsurface properties by fitting seismic data while satisfying wave propagation physics. The problem is formulated as a least-squares data fitting minimization problem…
General equations describing shear displacements in incompressible hyperelastic materials, holding for an arbitrary form of strain energy density function, are presented and applied to the description of nonlinear Love-type waves…
The conventional model governing the spread of fractures in elastic material is formulated by coupling linear elasticity with deformation systems. The classical linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) model is derived based on the…
Slender tubes constituted of hyperelastic materials undergoing large deformations and conveying inertialess flow of Newtonian fluids at steady state are a model representations of complex systems in both biomechanics and bio-inspired…
Shear-wave elastography (SWE) measures shear-wave speed (SWS), which is related to the underlying shear modulus of soft tissue. SWE methods generally assume that soft tissue viscoelasticity is independent of mechanical loading, however,…
In this paper, we discuss the possibility of achieving tunable topologically protected edge modes through the application of uniaxial deformation in an auxetic metamaterial. The proposed structure consists of a thin slab with oriented cuts…
Soft electroactive materials can undergo large deformation subjected to either mechanical or electrical stimulus, and hence they can be excellent candidates for designing extremely flexible and adaptive structures and devices. This paper…
Semiconductivity and superconductivity are remarkable quantum phenomena that have immense impact on science and technology, and materials that can be tuned, usually by pressure or doping, to host both types of quantum states are of great…
We propose a new peridynamic formulation with shear deformation for linear elastic solid. The key idea lies in subtracting the rigid body rotation part from the total deformation. Based on the strain energy equivalence between classic local…
The nonlinear mechanics of a flexible elastic rod constrained at its edges by a pair of sliding sleeves is analyzed. The planar equilibrium configurations of this variable-length elastica are found to have shape defined only by the…
Transformation media theory, which steers waves in solids via an effective geometry induced by a refractive material (Fermat's principle of least action), provides a means of controlling vibrations and elastic waves beyond the traditional…
Material properties of soft electro-active (SEA) structures are significantly sensitive to external electro-mechanical biasing fields (such as pre-stretch and electric stimuli), which generate remarkable knock-on effects on their dynamic…
The appearance of nonlinear effects in elastic wave propagation is one of the most reliable and sensitive indicators of the onset of material damage. However, these effects are usually very small and can be detected only using cumbersome…
Residual stresses may appear in elastic bodies due to the formation of misfits in the micro-structure, driven by plastic deformations, thermal or growth processes. They are especially widespread in living matter, resulting from the dynamic…
