DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104622
Abstract: Most simulation studies on equine hoof biomechanics employed linear elastic (LE) material models. However, the equine hoof wall's stress-strain relationship is nonlinear and varies with hydration level. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the accuracy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2023.201
Abstract: Abstract We consider the multidirectional swelling and drying of hydrogels formed from super-absorbent polymers and water, focusing on the elastic deformation caused by differential swelling. By modelling hydrogels as instantaneously incompressible, linear-elastic materials and considering… read more here.
