Biological cells and tissues are continuously subjected to mechanical stress and strain cues
from their surrounding substrate. How these forces modulate cell and tissue behavior is a …

This work provides a family of explicit phenomenological models both in the F− H and F− B
variable space. These models are derived directly from an analytical implicit …

Magneto-active polymers (MAPs) are revolutionising the fields of material science and solid
mechanics as well as having an important presence in the bioengineering community …

This paper reports a finite element based numerical framework for simulating the
electromechanical behavior of nonlinear anisotropic dielectric elastomer actuators at finite …

This paper puts forth an approximate solution for the effective free-energy function
describing the homogenized (or macroscopic) magnetoelastic response of …

Soft-materials that respond to external stimuli are very useful for application in soft robotics,
stretchable electronics, biomedical applications etc. Recent times have seen a surge in …

Magneto-active polymers are polymer-based composites consisting of magnetizable micro-
particles embedded in an elastomeric matrix material. The presence of magnetic particles …

Herein, we present a numerical study on the deformation dependent behavior of
magnetorheological elastomers with structured and unstructured particle distributions. To …

In this contribution, we present a novel proceeding for the development of a suitable
macroscopic model for magneto-active composites. Based on a general continuum …
