Surface tension and the mechanics of liquid inclusions in compliant solids
Robert W. Style, John S. Wettlaufer, Eric R. Dufresne
Eshelby's theory of inclusions has wide-reaching implications across the mechanics of materials and structures including the theories of composites, fracture, and plasticity. Howev…
Stiffening solids with liquid inclusions
Robert W. Style, Rostislav Boltyanskiy, Benjamin Allen +4
From bone and wood to concrete and carbon fibre, composites are ubiquitous natural and engineering materials. Eshelby's inclusion theory describes how macroscopic stress fields cou…
Fluid-driven deformation of a soft granular material
Christopher W. MacMinn, Eric R. Dufresne, John S. Wettlaufer
Compressing a porous, fluid-filled material will drive the interstitial fluid out of the pore space, as when squeezing water out of a kitchen sponge. Inversely, injecting fluid int…
