Electromechanical Domain Wall Propagation in Dielectric Elastomers: An Exact Geometric Resolution via Conformal Mapping
Yu-Xin Xie
The localized electromechanical phase transition in dielectric elastomers involves complex moving boundaries and severe electrostatic fringe fields driven by high-curvature interfa…
Exact Scaling Laws and Non-Hermitian Topological Phase Transitions of Active Continuum on Hyperbolic Manifolds
Yu-Xin Xie
The macroscopic collective motion of active continuum on curved manifolds is conventionally addressed through perturbative dynamic renormalization or finite-element simulations, of…
Higher-Order Topological Phase Transitions in Continuous Hyperelastic Manifolds: From Surface Wrinkles to Zero-Energy Corner States
Yu-Xin Xie
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have revolutionized our understanding of wave localization, extending the bulk-boundary correspondence to lower-dimensional hinges and c…
Elastic Surface Instability as a Topological Phase Transition
Yu-Xin Xie
The macroscopic instability of soft materials undergoing extreme deformations is traditionally viewed as a pure structural or mechanical failure. Driven by the quest to uncover uni…
