On the construction of explicit analytical driving forces for crack nucleation in the phase field approach to brittle fracture with application to Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager strength surfaces
Chockalingam Senthilnathan
A series of recent papers have modified the classical variational phase-field fracture models to successfully predict both the nucleation and propagation of cracks in brittle fract…
Cylindrical Cavity Expansion: A Novel Method for Characterizing the Mechanical Properties of Soft Materials
Jian Li, Zihao Xie, Hannah Varner +2
The low elastic modulus of soft materials, combined with geometric nonlinearity and rate dependence, presents significant challenges in the characterization of their mechanical res…
A Reciprocal Theorem for Finite Deformations in Incompressible Bodies
Thomas Henzel, Chockalingam Senthilnathan, Tal Cohen
The reciprocal theorems of Maxwell and Betti are foundational in mechanics but have so far been restricted to infinitesimal deformations in elastic bodies. In this manuscript, we p…
Nonlinear Inclusion Theory with Application to the Growth and Morphogenesis of a Confined Body
Jian Li, Mrityunjay Kothari, Chockalingam Senthilnathan +5
One of the most celebrated contributions to the study of the mechanical behavior of materials is due to J.D. Eshelby, who in the late 50s revolutionized our understanding of the el…
Shear shock evolution in incompressible soft solids
Chockalingam Senthilnathan, Tal Cohen
Nonlinear evolution of shear waves into shocks in incompressible elastic materials is investigated using the framework of large deformation elastodynamics, for a family of loadings…
