Abstract: A hydrogel consists of a cross-linked polymer network and solvent molecules. Depending on its chemical and mechanical environment, the polymer network may undergo enormous volume change. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, a reduced-order modeling approach based on computational fluid dynamics is presented for an elastic wing with control surfaces in the transonic regime. To treat the computational fluid dynamics grid around ...

Abstract: Thin films bonded to compliant substrates often develop wrinkles when subjected to an applied or inherent compressive stress. This paper presents a bilayer model to account for surface effects on the wrinkling of ultrathin ...
