Non-affine fiber reorientation in finite inelasticity
Jacopo Ciambella, Paola Nardinocchi
This paper introduces a model for the mechanical response of anisotropic soft materials undergoing large inelastic deformations. The composite is constituted by a soft isotropic ma…
A theory of magneto-elastic nanorods obtained through rigorous dimension reduction
Jacopo Ciambella, Martin Kružík, Giuseppe Tomassetti
Starting from a two-dimensional theory of magneto-elasticity for fiber-reinforced magnetic elastomers we carry out a rigorous dimension reduction to derive a rod model that describ…
Torque-induced reorientation in active fibre-reinforced materials
Jacopo Ciambella, Paola Nardinocchi
We introduce a continuum model for a fibre reinforced material in which the reference orientation of the fibre may evolve with time, under the influence of external stimuli. The mo…
A nonlinear theory for fibre-reinforced magneto-elastic rods
Jacopo Ciambella, Antonino Favata, Giuseppe Tomassetti
We derive a model for the finite motion of a magneto-elastic rod reinforced with isotropic (spherical) or anisotropic (ellipsoidal) inclusions. The particles are assumed weakly and…
Magnetically Responsive PDMS with aligned nickel coated carbon fibres
David C. Stanier, Jacopo Ciambella, Sameer S. Rahatekar
We detail a technique to produce actuators able to bear large strain and respond to an external magnetic field. The material used is PDMS reinforced with nickel coated carbon fibre…
On the Abaqus FEA model of finite viscoelasticity
Jacopo Ciambella, Michel Destrade, Ray W. Ogden
Predictions of the QLV (Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic) constitutive law are compared with those of the ABAQUS viscoelastic model for two simple motions in order to highlight, in partic…
