Local Nonlinear Elastic Response of Extracellular Matrices
Haiqian Yang, Estelle Berthier, Chenghai Li +5
Nonlinear stiffening is a ubiquitous property of major types of biopolymers that make up the extracellular matrices (ECM) including collagen, fibrin and basement membrane. Within t…
Force-dependent bond dissociation explains the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers
Zhaoqiang Song, Tong Shen, Franck J. Vernerey +1
We investigate the rate-dependent fracture of vitrimers by conducting a tear test. Based on the relationship between the frac-ture energy and the thickness of vitrimer films, we, f…
Wrinkles Riding Waves in Soft Layered Materials
Maroun Abi Ghanem, Xudong Liang, Brittany Lydon +5
The formation of periodic wrinkles in soft layered materials due to mechanical instabilities is prevalent in nature and has been proposed for use in multiple applications. However,…
Fluid-like Surface Layer and Its Flow Characteristics in Glassy Nanotubes
Matthew C. Wingert, Soonshin Kwon, Shengqiang Cai +1
We observed strongly size-dependent viscoelasticity in amorphous SiO2 and Si nanotubes with shell thickness down to ~8 nm. A core-shell model shows that a ~1 nm thick fluid-like su…
Creasing of an everted elastomer tube
Xudong Liang, Feiyu Tao, Shengqiang Cai
A cylindrical elastomer tube can stay in an everted state without any applied external forces. If the thickness of the tube is small, the everted tube, except for the regions close…
Shape Bifurcation of a Spherical Dielectric Elastomer Balloon under the Actions of Internal Pressure and Electric Voltage
Xudong Liang, Shengqiang Cai
Under the actions of internal pressure and electric voltage, a spherical dielectric elastomer balloon usually keeps a sphere during its deformation, which has also been assumed in…
