Computational Homogenization for Inverse Design of Surface-based Inflatables

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Francis Julian Panetta, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Yingying Ren

Surface-based inflatables are composed of two thin layers of nearly inextensible sheet material joined together along carefully selected fusing curves. During inflation, pressure forces separate the two sheets to maximize the enclosed volume. The fusing c ...

Solids that are also liquids: elastic tensors of superionic materials

Nicola Marzari, Tommaso Chiarotti, Giuliana Materzanini

Superionics are fascinating materials displaying both solid- and liquid-like characteristics: as solids, they respond elastically to shear stress; as liquids, they display fast-ion diffusion at normal conditions. In addition to such scientific interest, su ...

Compliant riblets: Problem formulation and effective macrostructural properties

Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Alessandro Bottaro

Small-scale, deformable riblets, embedded within the viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer and capable to adapt to the overlying motion, are studied. The wall micro-grooves are made of a linearly elastic material and can undergo small deformations ...

Supershear bursts in the propagation of a tensile crack in linear elastic material

Jean-François Molinari, Fabian Barras, René Carpaij

Since the early years of the linear elastic theory of fracture [linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM)], scientists have sought to understand and predict how fast cracks grow in a material or slip fronts propagate along faults. While shear cracks can tra ...

Deformation of a soft helical filament in an axial flow at low Reynolds number

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We perform a numerical investigation of the deformation of a rotating helical filament subjected to an axial flow, under low Reynolds number conditions, motivated by the propulsion of bacteria using helical flagella. Given its slenderness, the helical rod ...

From the free surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid towards the elastic deformation of a solid

Marco Picasso

The free surface flow of an Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid is considered, following A. Bonito, M. Picasso, and M. Laso (2006)[1]. When removing a term in the extra-stress constitutive relation, the description of an elastic incompressible solid is obtained, ...

Constitutive analysis of shale: a coupled damage plasticity approach

Lyesse Laloui, Francesco Parisio

Shales have become increasingly important because they play key roles in modern energy and environmental geomechanics applications, such as nuclear waste storage, non-conventional oil and gas operations and CO2 geological storage. Shale behaves in a quasi- ...

Evaluating seismic retrofitting efficiency through ambient vibration tests and analytical models

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Angelo Garofano

Economic and environmental imperatives lead to an ever growing need to extend the service life of the existing building stock without putting the users at risk. In zones prone to moderate seismic hazard, many buildings were built without considering seismi ...
