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…
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…
Local and Global Dynamics of a Functionally Graded Dielectric Elastomer Plate
Amin Alibakhshi, Sasan Rahmanian, Michel Destrade +1
We investigate the nonlinear vibrations of a functionally graded dielectric elastomer plate subjected to electromechanical loads. We focus on local and global dynamics in the syste…
Voltage-controlled non-axisymmetric vibrations of soft electro-active tubes with strain-stiffening effect
F. Zhu, B. Wu, M. Destrade +3
Material properties of soft electro-active (SEA) structures are significantly sensitive to external electro-mechanical biasing fields (such as pre-stretch and electric stimuli), wh…
Designing necks and wrinkles in inflated auxetic membranes
Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata, Valentina Balbi, Michel Destrade +1
This article presents the potentiality of inflatable, functionally-graded auxetic membranes to produce wrinkles and necks. We obtain elastic instabilities at desired locations in a…
Models of fractional viscous stresses for incompressible materials
Harold Berjamin, Michel Destrade
We present and review several models of fractional viscous stresses from the literature, which generalise classical viscosity theories to fractional orders by replacing total strai…
