Abstract: Abstract We describe the development of a device for high-rate, pneumatic fracture. The Small-scale Ballistic Cavitation (SBC) device uses a high pressure reservoir to generate cavities within ultrasoft solids (moduli 100 kPa) in bursts as short… read more here.

Abstract: A tiny spherical cavity expands in a homogenous neo-Hookean solid when subjected to an externally applied hydrostatic tension. If the applied tension reaches 2.5 times the shear modulus of the solid, the cavity expands unboundedly.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.103.063003
Abstract: Soft solids such as silicone gels, with bulk shear modulus ranging from ∼10 to 1000kPa, exhibit strongly strain-dependent surface stresses. Moreover, unlike conventional stiffer materials, the effects of surface stress in these materials manifest at… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym15030628
Abstract: To date, the mechanical models of magnetoelectric couplings at finite strains have mainly been limited to time-independent constitutive equations. This paper enhances the literature by developing a time-dependent electromagnetic constitutive equation to characterise the mechanical… read more here.
