Mechanics of Soft Active Materials
Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Wed, 2008-05-21 16:38.At the invitation of David Clarke on behalf of the UCSB/Los Alamos Institute of Multiscale Materials and Structures, I gave the following three lectures:
- Large deformation and instability in dielectric elastomers
- Large deformation and instability in swelling polymeric gels
- Mechanics and electrochemistry of polyelectrolyte gels
The abstracts follow, and the slides are attached at the end of this post.

Elastic dielectrics, slides for a short tutorial
Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sat, 2008-03-22 12:33.Rob Wood teaches a course on micro/nano robotics, and asks me to give a 30-minute tutorial on the theory of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). I attach my slides, which might be useful to you if you'd like to include this topic in your class. The tutorial draws upon work in the literature, as well as recent work in my group:

Large deformation and instability in gels
Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sat, 2008-03-01 14:56.I'm attaching slides of a talk that I gave yesterday at the Schlumberger-Doll Research Center. In preparing the talk, I made liberal use of slides prepared by Wei Hong for his own presentations. The talk is mainly based on the following papers:

Mechanics of Soft Active Materials (SAMs)
Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sat, 2007-11-10 14:07.I have recently given seminars on Mechanics of Soft Active Materials (SAMs) at several universities, using this set of slides (pdf, 1.4 MB). I also attach the slides as ppt; please feel free to use anyway you want. Here is an abstract of the seminars, followed by a list of papers published by my group on the topic. Each paper has initiated on iMechanica a thread of discussion, to which I'll link. I'll give a talk at the ASME Congress in Seattle, in Session 10-12-4 Instability in Solids, 9:45 am - 11:15 am, Thursday, 15 November 2007.
