Pull-in dynamics of overdamped microbeams
Michael Gomez, Dominic Vella, Derek E. Moulton
We study the dynamics of MEMS microbeams undergoing electrostatic pull-in. At DC voltages close to the pull-in voltage, experiments and numerical simulations have reported `bottlen…
Dynamics of viscoelastic snap-through
Michael Gomez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
We study the dynamics of snap-through when viscoelastic effects are present. To gain analytical insight we analyse a modified form of the Mises truss, a single-degree-of-freedom st…
Are homeostatic states stable? Dynamical stability in morphoelasticity
Alexander Erlich, Derek E. Moulton, Alain Goriely
Biological growth is often driven by mechanical cues, such as changes in external pressure or tensile loading. Moreover, it is well known that many living tissues actively maintain…
Post-buckling behaviour of a growing elastic rod
Axel A. Almet, Helen M. Byrne, Philip K. Maini +1
We consider mechanically-induced pattern formation within the framework of a growing, planar, elastic rod attached to an elastic foundation. Through a combination of weakly nonline…
