Mixed-Dimensional Electromechanical Coupling of Embedded Beam Networks in Soft Dielectric Composites
L. River Spencer, Manuel K. Rausch, Chad Landis +1
Soft electroactive composites can exhibit strongly architecture-dependent mechanical and electrical responses, but explicitly resolving dense fiber networks in three dimensions is…
A Monolithic Computational Homogenization Framework for Nearly Incompressible Magnetoelastic Composites
L. River Spencer, Manuel K. Rausch, Chad M. Landis +1
Magneto-active elastomers exhibit large, nonlinear deformations under combined mechanical loading and magnetic fields, and their effective behavior is strongly governed by microstr…
An adaptive space-time phase field formulation for dynamic fracture of brittle shells based on LR NURBS
Karsten Paul, Christopher Zimmermann, Kranthi K. Mandadapu +3
We present an adaptive space-time phase field formulation for dynamic fracture of brittle shells. Their deformation is characterized by the Kirchhoff-Love thin shell theory using a…
Nano-actuator concepts based on ferroelectric switching
Ananya Renuka Balakrishna, John E. Huber, Chad M. Landis
The concept of a nano-actuator that uses ferroelectric switching to generate enhanced displacements is explored using a phase-field model. The actuator has a ground state in the ab…
An isogeometric finite element formulation for phase transitions on deforming surfaces
Christopher Zimmermann, Deepesh Toshniwal, Chad M. Landis +3
This paper presents a general theory and isogeometric finite element implementation for studying mass conserving phase transitions on deforming surfaces. The mathematical problem i…
The surface-forming energy release rate versus the local energy release rate
Si Xiao, He-ling Wang, Chad M Landis +2
This paper identifies two ways to extract the energy (or power) flowing into a crack tip during propagation based on the power balance of areas enclosed by a stationary contour and…
