Analysis of the Buckling States of an Infinite Plate Conducting Current
… We are concerned with the derivation of the nonlinear equations of motion using nonlinear continuum mechanics, and subsequent analysis of the buckling behavior of the plate under electromagnetic self-forces. In particular, we concentrate on how the body-forces that result from the applied …

Homeostatic Elastic States and the Stability of Elastic Arteries
<p>Vascular mechanics has undergone significant growth within the last 50 years owing to the rapid development of nonlinear continuum mechanics occurring roughly within the same period and motivated primarily by rubber materials. However, one important distinction of blood vessels, in contrast to …

Computational Multi-material Inverse Design of Soft Robotic Actuators via Nonlinear Functional Optimization
… then solves an inverse problem in design using nonlinear optimization subject to physics constraints. The nonlinear program is solved using a gradient-based interior-point method. Analytical gradients are computed for efficiency. The method outputs fields of material properties, at the level of …
