The interplay between symmetry-breaking and symmetry-preserving bifurcations in soft dielectric films and the emergence of giant electro-actuation
Lingling Chen, Yu Yang, Binglei Wang +3
Soft elastomers that can exhibit extremely large deformations under the action of an electric field are essential for applications such as soft robotics, stretchable and flexible e…
Architected Elastomer Networks for Optimal Electromechanical Response
Matthew Grasinger, Kaushik Dayal
Dielectric elastomers (DEs) that couple deformation and electrostatics have the potential for use in soft sensors and actuators with applications ranging from robotic, biomedical,…
Symmetry-Adapted Tight-Binding Electronic Structure Analysis of Carbon Nanotubes with Defects, Kinks, Twist, and Stretch
Soumya Mukherjee, Hossein Pourmatin, Yang Wang +2
This paper applies a symmetry-adapted method to examine the influence of deformation and defects on the electronic structure and band structure in carbon nanotubes. First, the symm…
Statistical Mechanical Analysis of the Electromechanical Coupling in an Electrically-Responsive Polymer Chain
Matthew Grasinger, Kaushik Dayal
Polymeric materials that couple deformation and electrostatics have the potential for use in soft sensors and actuators with potential applications ranging from robotic, biomedical…
Mechanobiology predicts raft formations triggered by ligand-receptor activity across the cell membrane
A. R. Carotenuto, L. Lunghi, V. Piccolo +6
Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influe…
Effective Response of Heterogeneous Materials using the Recursive Projection Method
Xiaoyao Peng, Dhriti Nepal, Kaushik Dayal
This paper applies the Recursive Projection Method (RPM) to the problem of finding the effective mechanical response of a periodic heterogeneous solid. Previous works apply the Fas…
