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…
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…
