Anisotropy and chirality create an interesting mechanical coupling – axial-shear coupling. This paper also reports a weak correlation of chirality with negative Poisson’s ratio and a directional negative and positive Poisson’s ratio of a tetra-achiral lattice.

We discovered a novel mechanical coupling effect – axial-bending coupling. Unlike Poisson, axial-shear, and axial-twisting coupling effects, this axial-bending coupling occurs at a non-centrosymmetric square lattice.

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).

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.
