Modelling flow-driven pore closure of weakening poroelastic media
Matthew V. Ghosh, Matthew G. Hennessy, Andreas Münch +1
Poroelastic materials, such as polymer tissue scaffolds, porous rocks, and hydrogels, can weaken due to interactions between the solid skeleton and chemical species in the intersti…

A nonlinear beam model for photoresponsive thermoelastic solids driven by localised heating
William T. Simpkins, Matteo Taffetani, Matthew G. Hennessy
Asymptotic methods are used to derive a geometrically nonlinear beam model for thermoelastic solids with a spatially localised heat source. The asymptotic reduction is based on col…

A microstructural model of transversely isotropic, fibre-reinforced hydrogels
Matthew G. Hennessy, Tom Shearer, Axel C. Moore
Fibre-reinforced hydrogels are promising materials for biomedical applications due to their strength, toughness, and tunability. However, it remains unclear how to design fibre-rei…
