We develop a molecularly motivated framework connecting large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) nonlinearities in entangled polymers to frequency-dependent nonaffine relaxation in disordered solids. The central idea is that the first…
Topological mechanical metamaterials have enabled new ways to control stress and deformation propagation. Exemplified by Maxwell lattices, they have been studied extensively using a linearized formalism. Herein, we study a two-dimensional…
The buckling of thin elastic sheets is a classic mechanical instability that occurs over a wide range of scales. In the extreme limit of atomically thin membranes like graphene, thermal fluctuations can dramatically modify such mechanical…
In computer graphics and engineering, nonlinear elastic material properties of 3D volumetric solids are typically adjusted by selecting a material family, such as St. Venant Kirchhoff, Linear Corotational, (Stable) Neo-Hookean, Ogden, etc.,…
Experimentally measuring the elastic properties of thin biological surfaces is non-trivial, particularly when they are curved. One technique that may be used is the indentation of a thin sheet of material by a rigid indenter, whilst…
Quantitative phase field models have been extensively used to study the solidification behavior of alloys under different conditions. However, a longstanding challenge of phase field models is the directional bias caused by the…
Topological semimetals (TSMs) featuring symmetry-protected band degeneracies have attracted considerable attention due to their exotic quantum properties and potential applications. While nodal line (NL) and nodal surface (NS) semimetals…
Strong adhesives rely on reduced stress concentrations, often obtained via specific geometry or composition of materials. In many examples in nature and engineering prototypes, the adhesive performance relies on structural rigidity being…
Optimal characterization of the mechanical properties of both cells and their surrounding is an issue of major interest. Indeed, cell function and development are strongly influenced by external stimuli. Furthermore, a change in cell…
The mechanical response of cellular materials with spinodal topologies is numerically and experimentally investigated. Spinodal microstructures are generated by the numerical solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Two different topologies…
Maxwell lattice metamaterials possess a rich phase space with distinct topological states featuring mechanically polarized edge behaviors and strongly asymmetric acoustic responses. Until now, demonstrations of non-trivial topological…
In this paper, the numerical approximation of isometric deformations of thin elastic shells is discussed. To this end, for a thin shell represented by a parametrized surface, it is shown how to transform the stored elastic energy for an…
This paper investigates the effects of plasticity on the effective fracture toughness. A layered material is considered as a modelling system. An elastic-plastic phase-field model and a surfing boundary condition are used to study how the…
We propose a family of modulated honeycomb lattices, a class of quasiperiodic tilings characterized by the metallic mean. These lattices consist of six distinct hexagonal prototiles with two edge lengths, $\ell$ and $s$, and can be regarded…
Metallenes are atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials lacking a layered structure in the bulk form. They can be stabilized by nanoscale constrictions like pores in 2D covalent templates, but the isotropic metallic bonding makes…
This paper investigates the optimal distribution of hard and soft material on elastic plates. In the class of isometric deformations stationary points of a Kirchhoff plate functional with incorporated material hardness function are…
Modulating the stiffness of soft actuators is crucial for improving the efficiency of interaction with the environment. However, current stiffness modulation mechanisms are hard to achieve high lateral stiffness and a wide range of bending…
We investigate the behavior of shear viscosity in the presence of small anisotropy and a finite chemical potential. First, we construct an anisotropic Reissner Nordstr{\"o}m blackbrane in 5 dimensions in a simple Einstein-Maxwell theory…
