Title: From engineering elasticity to neural implants for translational research
Smart soft materials that can flexibly respond to external multi-physics stimuli, have shown intriguing applications in shape-morphing and morphology control. Here, we present tunable wrinkling patterns in core-shell spheres under thermal load via controlling the orientation of director in nematic liquid crystal polymer (LCP). To analyze nonlinear instability and morphological evolution of LCP shell/core spheres, we develop a shallow core-shell model that accounts for director-induced anisotropic spontaneous strains.

We address a problem that extends a fundamental classical result of
continuum mechanics from the time of its inception, as well as answers a fundamental
question in the recent, modern nonlinear elastic theory of dislocations.
Interestingly, the implication of our result in the latter case is qualitatively di fferent
from its well-established analog in the linear elastic theory of dislocations.
The USACM is happy to announce a virtual seminar this week on Wednesday, July 1st at 3pm Eastern. The title of the seminar is "Examining Fracture Behavior in Heterogeneous Poro-Elastic Media from Nano to Macro-Scale". An abstract of the talk is available here:

1. Introduction
Here are the elasticity notes of Eli Sternberg over many years as he taught AM 135 at Caltech. I had access to them when I was working with Prof. Kaushik Bhattacharya at Caltech during postdoc. Prof. Bhattacharya suggested making the notes publicly available via iMechanica, and below is a short note from him.
Willing to share the work done in my Ph.D. thesis ("An efficient numerical framework for capturing localised 3D stress fields in laminated composites). The basic code (written in FORTRAN 90) is available on GITHUB (Check the following link).
Hello iMechanica! My name is Ryan and I am the Founder of Mechanical Engineering HQ. I am writing here today to share an interesting development in prosthesis. Scientists have claimed that they have developed a new artificial eye that has more advanced capabilities than human eyes. Read on to see if they have achieved this feat!
