Virtual Surjection and the -- Theorem for Discrete Groups

Tal Cohen, Mark Shusterman

We prove the Virtual Surjection Conjecture for discrete groups, both for property and for property : given a product of groups of type (respectively ),…

Virtual Surjection and the -- Theorem for Profinite Groups

Tal Cohen, Mark Shusterman

We prove the Virtual Surjection Conjecture for profinite groups. Namely, given a product of profinite groups, a subgroup that virtually surjects onto -tupl…

Interfacial Cavitation with Surface Tension: New Insights into Failure of Particle Reinforced Polymers

Xuanhe Li, Brendan Unikewicz, S. Chockalingam +2

Understanding and mitigating the failure of reinforced elastomers has been a long-standing challenge in many industrial applications. In an early attempt to shed light on the funda…

On the Nonlinear Eshelby Inclusion Problem and its Isomorphic Growth Limit

J. E. Bonavia, S. Chockalingam, T. Cohen

In the late 1950's, Eshelby's linear solutions for the deformation field inside an ellipsoidal inclusion and, subsequently, the infinite matrix in which it is embedded were publish…

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…
