Abstract: A recent study demonstrated that threedimensional (3D) continuous displacement fields in transparent soft gels can be constructed from discrete displacement data obtained by optically tracking fluorescent particles embedded ...

Abstract: We study the short time transient stress and pore pressure fields near the tip of a stationary crack when a sudden load is applied to a poroelastic solid. These fields are determined using a small scale “yieldingâ€‌ (SSY) ...

Abstract: We study the mechanics of pressurized graphene membranes using an experimental configuration that allows the determination of the elasticity of graphene and the adhesion energy between a substrate and a graphene (or other ...
