Torsional Instabilities in the Delamination of Soft Adhesives
Tara K. Venkatadri, Thomas Henzel, Tal Cohen
Soft adhesive contacts are ubiquitous in nature and are increasingly used in synthetic systems, such as flexible electronics and soft robots, due to their advantages over tradition…
Biofilms as self-shaping growing nematics
Japinder Nijjer, Mrityunjay Kothari, Changhao Li +7
Active nematics are the nonequilibrium analog of passive liquid crystals in which anisotropic units consume free energy to drive emergent behavior. Similar to liquid crystal (LC) m…
Interfacial Cavitation
Thomas Henzel, Japinder Nijjer, Chockalingam Senthilnathan +4
Cavitation has long been recognized as a crucial predictor, or precursor, to the ultimate failure of various materials, ranging from ductile metals to soft and biological materials…
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…
Probing local nonlinear viscoelastic properties in soft materials
S Chockalingam, Christine Roth, Thomas Henzel +1
Minimally invasive experimental methods that can measure local rate dependent mechanical properties are essential in understanding the behaviour of soft and biological materials in…
