A transversely isotropic visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is provided for soft tissues,which accounts for large deformations,high strain rates,and shor
Dielectric elastomer,an active soft material,has been recently widely explored to make diverse devices,ranging from soft robotics to biomimetic systems.
In a recent series of papers [2-4] the classical problem of localizing bulging in a pressurized membrane tube [1,5,6] has been re-examined using bifurcation
We present experimental evidence of genuine Biot [1] surface instabilities,genuine in the sense that they appear during the large homogeneous deformation of
We consider thin elastic ribbons,which are elastic bodies whose dimensions are all very different: the length of a ribbon is much larger than its width,whic
Strain-induced pattern formation is now recognized to have applications at the micrometer and sub-micrometer scales ranging from cell patterning,optical gra
