Direct stress imaging from shear wave propagation

Yiwei Duan, Michel Destrade, Wenchang Tan +1

Quantitative imaging of stress fields in heterogeneous solids remains challenging because stress is not directly measurable and is typically inferred from deformation using constit…

A Gaussian process approach for rapid evaluation of skin tension

Matt Nagle, Hannah Conroy Broderick, Christelle Vedel +3

Skin tension plays a pivotal role in clinical settings, it affects scarring, wound healing and skin necrosis. Despite its importance, there is no widely accepted method for assessi…

Non-invasive measurement of local stress inside soft materials with programmed shear waves

Zhaoyi Zhang, Guo-Yang Li, Yuxuan Jiang +4

Mechanical stresses in soft materials across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding the function of biological systems and in the use of artificial materi…

Analysis of in-vivo skin anisotropy using elastic wave measurements and Bayesian modelling

Matt Nagle, Susan Price, Antonia Trotta +3

In vivo skin exhibits viscoelastic, hyper-elastic and non-linear characteristics. It is under a constant non-equibiaxial tension in its natural configuration and is reinforced with…

Modelling brain tissue elasticity with the Ogden model and an alternative family of constitutive models

Afshin Anssari-Benam, Michel Destrade, Giuseppe Saccomandi

The Ogden model is often considered as a standard model in the literature for application to the deformation of brain tissue. Here we show that, in some of those applications, the…

Nonlinear vibration and stability of a dielectric elastomer balloon based on a strain-stiffening model

Amin Alibakhshi, Weiqiu Chen, Michel Destrade

Limiting chain extensibility is a characteristic that plays a vital role in the stretching of highly elastic materials. The Gent model has been widely used to capture this behaviou…
