On the thermodynamic consistency of Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic models for soft solids
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade, William J. Parnell
Originating in the field of biomechanics, Fung's model of quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) is one of the most popular constitutive theories employed to compute the time-dependent…
A hyperbolic framework for shear sound beams in nonlinear solids
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade
In soft elastic solids, directional shear waves are in general governed by coupled nonlinear KZK-type equations for the two transverse velocity components, when both quadratic nonl…
Torsion instability of soft solid cylinders
Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade
The application of pure torsion to a long and thin cylindrical rod is known to provoke a twisting instability, evolving from an initial kink to a knot. In the torsional parallel-pl…
Straightening wrinkles
Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden, Ivonne Sgura +1
We consider the elastic deformation of a circular cylindrical sector composed of an incompressible isotropic soft solid when it is straightened into a rectangular block. In this pr…
Straightening: Existence, uniqueness and stability
Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden, Ivonne Sgura +1
One of the least studied universal deformations of incompressible nonlinear elasticity, namely the straightening of a sector of a circular cylinder into a rectangular block, is rev…
A robust anisotropic hyperelastic formulation for the modelling of soft tissue
David R. Nolan, Artur L. Gower, Michel Destrade +2
The Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden (HGO) model for anisotropic hyperelastic behaviour of collagen fibre reinforced materials was initially developed to describe the elastic properties of a…
Gent models for the inflation of spherical balloons
Robert Mangan, Michel Destrade
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…
Dominant negative Poynting effect for soft tissues
Michel Destrade, Cornelius O. Horgan, Jerry G. Murphy
We identify three distinct shearing modes for simple shear deformations of transversely isotropic soft tissue which allow for both positive and negative Poynting effects (that is,…
Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist, Jerry G. Murphy +2
We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60\%. This…
Morphology of residually-stressed tubular tissues: Beyond the elastic multiplicative decomposition
Pasquale Ciarletta, Michel Destrade, Artur L. Gower +1
Many interesting shapes appearing in the biological world are formed by the onset of mechanical instability. In this work we consider how the build-up of residual stress can cause…
Influence of initial residual stress on growth and pattern creation for a layered aorta
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Michel Destrade +1
Residual stress is ubiquitous and indispensable in most biological and artificial materials, where it sustains and optimizes many biological and functional mechanisms. The theory o…
Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Congshan Liu +5
Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experim…
Electrostatically tunable axisymmetric vibrations of soft electro-active tubes
Fangzhou Zhu, Bin Wu, Michel Destrade +1
Due to their unique electromechanical coupling properties, soft electro-active (SEA) resonators are actively tunable, extremely suitable, and practically important for designing th…
The effect of an exterior electric field on the instability of dielectric plates
Yipin Su, Weiqiu Chen, Luis Dorfmann +1
We investigate the theoretical nonlinear response, Hessian stability, and possible wrinkling behaviour of a voltage-activated dielectric plate immersed in a tank filled with silico…
Strain energy function for isotropic non-linear elastic incompressible solids with linear finite strain response in shear and torsion
Robert Mangan, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of t…
Oblique wrinkles
Melania Carfagna, Michel Destrade, Artur L. Gower +1
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 stret…
Wrinkles in the opening angle method
Michel Destrade, Irene Lusetti, Robert Mangan +1
We investigate the stability of the deformation modeled by the opening angle method, often used to give a measure of residual stresses in arteries and other biological soft tubular…
Deficiencies in numerical models of anisotropic nonlinearly elastic materials
Aisling Ni Annaidh, Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist +1
Incompressible nonlinearly hyperelastic materials are rarely simulated in Finite Element numerical experiments as being perfectly incompressible because of the numerical difficulti…
Counter-intuitive results in acousto-elasticity
Artur L. Gower, Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden
We present examples of body wave and surface wave propagation in deformed solids where the slowest and the fastest waves do not travel along the directions of least and greatest st…
At least three invariants are necessary to model the mechanical response of incompressible, transversely isotropic materials
Michel Destrade, Brian Mac Donald, Jerry Murphy +1
The modelling of off-axis simple tension experiments on transversely isotropic nonlinearly elastic materials is considered. A testing protocol is proposed where normal force is app…
Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Weiqiu Chen +1
The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumptio…
Tuning the pull-in instability of soft dielectric elastomers through loading protocols
Yipin Su, Weiqiu Chen, Michel Destrade
Pull-in (or electro-mechanical) instability occurs when a drastic decrease in the thickness of a dielectric elastomer results in electrical breakdown, which limits the applications…
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates
Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist
During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Moreover, diffuse axona…

Guo-Yang Li, Yang Zheng, Yanlin Liu +2
A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named th…
