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…
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…
Elastic instability behind brittle fracture
D. Riccobelli, P. Ciarletta, G. Vitale +2
We argue that nucleation of brittle cracks in initially flawless soft elastic solids is preceded by a nonlinear elastic instability, which cannot be captured without accounting for…
