When a clamped membrane of elastomer is subject to a lateral pressure, it bulges into a hemispherical balloon. However, for a clamped membrane of dielectric elastomer (DE) under a lateral pressure as well as a voltage through the thickness, it may bulge into a regular hemispherical balloon or an irregular shape. This work focuses on the anomalous bulging behaviors (i.e. the irregular bulging shape) of a DE balloon under electromechanical coupling loading.
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids and structures, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. Topics of current interest are:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Nonlinear waves in metamaterials and architected solids;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.

Our group has recently published an article wherein we propose the use of X-ray computed tomography coupled with statistical nanoindentation for simulating the mechanical properties of quasi-brittle materials. The approach is used for simulating tensile properties of hardened cement paste.
