Magneto-Mechanical System to Reproduce and Quantify Complex Strain Patterns in Biological Materials

Submitted by Daniel Garcia-… on

Based on magneto-active polymers, we provide a non-invasive and real-time control methodology to impose complex mechanical forces on biological systems. The device is conceptualised to be suitable for any traditional microscope! See scheme:

We allow for reproducing complex mechanical processes by simulating a set of local strain patterns occurring in real scenarios. We demonstrated this by simulating strain distribution occurring within the brain tissue during a head impact (Knutsen et al., 2020 #BMphi).

The Universal Program of Linear Elasticity

Submitted by arash_yavari on

Universal displacements are those displacements that can be maintained, in the absence of body forces, by applying only boundary tractions  for any material in a given class of materials. Therefore, equilibrium equations must be satisfied for arbitrary elastic moduli for a given anisotropy class. These conditions can be expressed as a set of partial differential equations for the displacement field that we call universality constraints. The classification  of universal displacements in homogeneous linear elasticity has been completed for all the eight anisotropy classes.

Phase field fracture predictions of microscopic bridging behaviour of composite materials

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

Dear iMechanicians,

I hope that you find the following paper of interest. We conducted 3D (phase field) fracture simulations that explicitly resolve the microstructure of composites, predicting the role of key mechanisms such as fibre bridging (i.e., an output of the model, not an input!).
