Controlled Propagation and Jamming of a Delamination Front
Mrityunjay Kothari, Zoë S. Lemon, Christine Roth +1
We study the birth and propagation of a delamination front in the peeling of a soft, weakly adhesive layer. In a controlled-displacement setting, the layer partially detaches via a…

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…

Capturing Strain Stiffening Using Volume Controlled Cavity Expansion
Shabnam Raayai-Ardakani, Tal Cohen
Strain-stiffening is a well-documented behavior in soft biological materials such as liver and brain tissue. Measuring and characterizing this nonlinear response, which is commonly…
