Elastocapillary morphing of self-encapsulated droplets floating at the oil-air interface
D. Andrini, D. Riccobelli, L. Gazzera +3
Self-encapsulated droplets floating at an oil--air interface undergo striking shape changes during evaporation, including flattening and localized loss of membrane tension leading…
A three-dimensional morphoelastic model for self-oscillations in polyelectrolyte hydrogel filaments
Ariel Surya Boiardi, Roberto Marchello, Pietro Maria Santucci +2
We introduce a three-dimensional model for polyelectrolyte hydrogel filaments operating in a fluid environment under an electric field. The formulation builds on a morphoelastic fr…
Electro-mechanical wrinkling of soft dielectric films bonded to hyperelastic substrates
Bin Wu, Linghao Kong, Weiqiu Chen +2
Active control of wrinkling in soft film-substrate composites using electric fields is a critical challenge in tunable material systems. Here, we investigate the electro-mechanical…
Elastic Plateau-Rayleigh instability in soft cylinders: Surface elasticity and periodic beading
F. Magni, D. Riccobelli
The Plateau-Rayleigh instability shows that a cylindrical fluid flow can be destabilized by surface tension. Similarly, capillary forces can make an elastic cylinder unstable when…
Surface tension-driven boundary growth in tumour spheroids
D. Riccobelli
Growing experimental evidence highlights the relevant role of mechanics in the physiology of solid tumours, even in their early stages. While most of the mathematical models descri…
Modelling of initially stressed solids: structure of the energy density in the incompressible limit
M. Magri, D. Riccobelli
This study addresses the modelling of elastic bodies, particularly when the relaxed configuration is unknown or non-existent. We adopt the theory of initially stressed materials, i…
