Impact waves in soft bilayer tissues
Zhenwei Liu, Yang Liu, Michel Destrade +1
In this study, we investigate impact-wave propagation in a pre-stressed compressible hyperelastic bilayer resting on a frictionless rigid substrate within the framework of nonlinea…
Programmable wrinkling for functionally-graded auxetic circular membranes
Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata, Valentina Balbi, Michel Destradea +2
Materials with negative Poisson's ratio, also known as auxetic materials, display exotic properties such as expansion in all directions under uni-axial tension. For their unique pr…
Canceling the elastic Poynting effect with geometry
M. Destrade, Y. Du, J. Blackwell +2
The Poynting effect is a paragon of nonlinear soft matter mechanics. It is the tendency (found in all incompressible, isotropic, hyperelastic solids) exhibited by a soft block to e…
The KP equation of plane elastodynamics
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
The propagation of nonlinear and dispersive waves in various materials can be described by the well-known Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, which is a (2+1)-dimensional partial…
Plane-polarised finite-amplitude shear waves in deformed incompressible materials
Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi
We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of…
The generalised Mooney space for modelling the response of rubber-like materials
Afshin Anssari-Benam, Andrea Bucchi, Michel Destrade +1
Soft materials such as rubbers, silicones, gels and biological tissues have a nonlinear response to large deformations, a phenomenon which in principle can be captured by hyperelas…
