Dynamic buckling of elastic rings in a soap film
Finn Box, Ousmane Kodio, Doireann O'Kiely +3
Dynamic buckling may occur when a load is rapidly applied to, or removed from, an elastic object at rest. In contrast to its static counterpart, dynamic buckling offers a wide rang…
The mechanics of human brain organoids
Valentina Balbi, Michel Destrade, Alain Goriely
Organoids are prototypes of human organs derived from cultured human stem cells. They provide a reliable and accurate experimental model to study the physical mechanisms underlying…
Likely chirality of stochastic anisotropic hyperelastic tubes
L. Angela Mihai, Thomas E. Woolley, Alain Goriely
When an elastic tube reinforced with helical fibres is inflated, its ends rotate. In large deformations, the amount and chirality of rotation is highly non-trivial, as it depends o…
Likely equilibria of stochastic hyperelastic spherical shells and tubes
L. Angela Mihai, Danielle Fitt, Thomas E. Woolley +1
In large deformations, internally pressurised elastic spherical shells and tubes may undergo a limit-point, or inflation, instability manifested by a rapid transition in which thei…
Likely cavitation in stochastic elasticity
L. Angela Mihai, Danielle Fitt, Thomas E. Woolley +1
We revisit the classic problem of elastic cavitation within the framework of stochastic elasticity. For the deterministic elastic problem, involving homogeneous isotropic incompres…
Likely equilibria of the stochastic Rivlin cube
L. Angela Mihai, Thomas E. Woolley, Alain Goriely
The problem of the Rivlin cube is to determine the stability of all homogeneous equilibria of an isotropic incompressible hyperelastic body under equitriaxial dead loads. Here, we…
Are homeostatic states stable? Dynamical stability in morphoelasticity
Alexander Erlich, Derek E. Moulton, Alain Goriely
Biological growth is often driven by mechanical cues, such as changes in external pressure or tensile loading. Moreover, it is well known that many living tissues actively maintain…
The multiphysics of prion-like diseases: progression and atrophy
Johannes Weickenmeier, Ellen Kuhl, Alain Goriely
Many neurodegenerative diseases are related to the propagation and accumulation of toxic proteins throughout the brain. The lesions created by aggregates of these toxic proteins fu…
