On the Shape of the Free Surface of a Rubber-Like Material in Proximity to a Rigid Contactor
… pioneering work on the wrinkling of a free surface with residual stress and investigate the wrinkling of residually stressed solid films subjected to van der Waals or other types of interaction from a proximate contactor. We consider an incompressible rubber-like film of infinite depth, …

Size-dependent Electroelastic Properties of Piezoelectric Nanoplates
… piezoelectricity-based nanodevices. Due to large surface to volume ratio and manifest strain gradients typically present in nanostructures, surface effects and flexoelectricity are commonly believed to be responsible for the size-dependent electromechanical properties of piezoelectric …

Design and Performance of Cold Bent Glass
… bent glass is subjected to permanent bending stresses throughout its service life and therefore, its strength degradation after ageing needs to be quantified. Analytical, experimental and numerical investigations are undertaken in this thesis to identify the most effective method for …
