Effect of compressibility and aspect ratio on performance of long elastic seals
Benjamin Druecke, David M. Parks, Anette E. Hosoi
Recent experiments show no statistical impact of seal length on the performance of long elastomeric seals in relatively smooth test fixtures. Motivated by these results, we analyti…
Enhancing the Performance of the T-Peel Test for Thin and Flexible Adhered Laminates
Nikhil Padhye, David M. Parks, Alexander H. Slocum +1
Symmetrically bonded thin and flexible T-peel specimens, when tested on vertical travel machines, can be subject to significant gravitational loading; with the associated asymmetry…
A New Phenomenon: Sub-Tg, Solid-State, Plasticity-Induced Bonding in Polymers
Nikhil Padhye, David M. Parks, Bernhardt L. Trout +1
Polymer self-adhesion due to the interdiffusion of macromolecules has been an active area of research for several decades [70, 43, 62, 42, 72, 73, 41]. Here, we report a new phenom…
A comprehensive lattice-stability limit surface for graphene
Sandeep Kumar, David Parks
The limits of reversible deformation in graphene under various loadings are examined using lattice-dynamical stability analysis. This information is then used to construct a compre…
Strain shielding from mechanically-activated covalent bond formation in nanoindentation
Sandeep Kumar, David M. Parks
Mechanical failure of an ideal crystal is dictated either by an elastic instability or a soft-mode instability. We show that the ideal strength measurement of graphene based on nan…
Invariant-theoretic approach to nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive modeling of graphene
Sandeep Kumar, David M. Parks
We develop a hyperelastic constitutive model for graphene --- describing in-plane deformations involving both large isotropic and deviatoric strains --- based on the invariant-theo…
