Direct localized boundary-domain integro-differential formulations for physically nonlinear elasticity of inhomogeneous body [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A static mixed boundary value problem (BVP) of physically nonlinear elasticity for a continuously inhomogeneous body is considered. Using the two-operator Green-Betti formula and the fundamental solution of an auxiliary linear operator, a non-standard ...

Air‐Pressure–Actuated Vibroacoustic Metamaterial With Tunable Bandgap: Design, Modeling, and Characterization

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents the design, modeling, and characterization of air‐pressure–actuated programmable vibroacoustic metamaterials (PVAMM). The study focuses on leveraging air pressure to dynamically tune resonance frequencies for effective noise attenuation.

Recent Advances in Tissue-Engineered Cardiac Scaffolds—The Progress and Gap in Mimicking Native Myocardium Mechanical Behaviors

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023
Heart failure is the leading cause of death in the US and worldwide. Despite modern therapy, challenges remain to rescue the damaged organ that contains cells with a very low proliferation rate after birth.

High contrast homogenisation in nonlinear elasticity under small loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study the homogenisation of geometrically nonlinear elastic composites with high contrast. The composites we analyse consist of a perforated matrix material, which we call the "stiff" material, and a "soft" material that fills the pores.

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Transition mechanism for a periodic bar-and-joint framework with limited degrees of freedom controlled by uniaxial load and internal stiffness [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
A specific periodic bar-and-joint framework with limited degrees of freedom is shown to have a transition mechanism when subjected to an external force.

Nonlinear Elasticity, Fluctuations and Heterogeneity of Nematic Elastomers

open access: yes, 2007
Liquid crystal elastomers realize a fascinating new form of soft matter that is a composite of a conventional crosslinked polymer gel (rubber) and a liquid crystal. These {\em solid} liquid crystal amalgams, quite similarly to their (conventional, fluid)

The effect of deformation dependent permittivity on the elastic response of a finitely deformed dielectric tube [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, the influence of a radial electric field generated by compliant electrodes on the curved surfaces of a tube of dielectric electroelastic material subject to radially symmetric finite deformations is analyzed within the framework of the ...

High‐Temperature Nanoindentation of Metals: Assessing Thermal Drift, Frame Compliance, and Chemical Composition Effects on the Reported Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Do not let thermal drift and instrument artifacts deceive high‐temperature nanoindentation results. We compare classical Oliver–Pharr and automatic image recognition analyses across steels and a Ni alloy to quantify these effects. Accounting for artifacts reveals systematic softening with temperature, while Cr and Ni additions boost resistance ...

Geometric numerical integrators based on the Magnus expansion in bifurcation problems for non-linear elastic solids

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2014
We illustrate a procedure based on the Magnus expansion for studying mechanical problems which lead to non-autonomous systems of linear ODE’s. The effectiveness of the Magnus method is enlighten by the analysis of a bifurcation problem in the framework ...
