Specimen design for material parameter identification using topology optimization
Adeline Wihardja, Kaushik Bhattacharya
Constitutive relations close the equations of continuum mechanics, and serve as a surrogate for a material in the design and engineering process. They are often specified in a para…
Characterization of the soft behavior of nematic elastomers over a range of temperature and strain rates
Alice Kutsyy, Adeline Wihardja, Victoria Lee +1
Nematic elastomers are a particular class of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) that exhibit both liquid-crystalline order and rubber (entropic) elasticity. This combination makes th…
High Strain Rate Behavior of Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Adeline Wihardja, Juan Carlos Nieto Fuentes, Daniel Rittel +1
Liquid crystal elastomers are rubbery solids that couple liquid crystalline order and deformation. This coupling leads to properties that are attractive for a number of application…
Constitutive relations from images
Adeline Wihardja, Kaushik Bhattacharya
Constitutive relations close the balance laws of continuum mechanics and serves as the surrogate for a material in the design and engineering process. The problem of obtaining the…
Control of Mechanical and Fracture Properties in Two-phase Materials Reinforced by Continuous, Irregular Networks
Tommaso Magrini, Chelsea Fox, Adeline Wihardja +2
Composites with high strength and high fracture resistance are desirable for structural and protective applications. Most composites, however, suffer from poor damage tolerance and…
A macroscopic constitutive relation for isotropic-genesis, polydomain liquid crystal elastomers
Victoria Lee, Adeline Wihardja, Kaushik Bhattacharya
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are rubber-like solids that incorporate nematic mesogens (stiff rod-like molecules) as a part of their polymer chains. In recent years, isotropic-g…
