Soft robotics requires materials that are capable of large deformation and amenable to
actuation with external stimuli such as electric fields. Energy harvesting, biomedical devices …

To date, controlled deformation of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been extensively
demonstrated with substrate-supported structures. However, interfacial effects arising from …

This work studies experimentally and numerically the post-bifurcation response of a
magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) film bonded to a soft non-magnetic (passive) …

There is growing interest in using 2D graphene-related reinforcements to toughen brittle
ceramics in nanocomposites. However, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the …

How do the weak sound waves get amplified in a cochlea? This deceptively simple question
has attracted a fair amount of attention and several creative mechanisms have been …

We present analyses of the inherent hyperelastic crease that entails an unstable
degenerative singular perturbation field over a uniformly compressed hyperelastic half …

Here, we report the closure resistance of a soft-material bilayer orifice increases against
external pressure, along with ruga-phase evolution, in contrast to the conventional …

Flexoelectricity in multilayer graphene (MLG) buckling can stimulate kink-shaped crinkle
formation. In the process, the bifurcation becomes subcritical and the suspended-MLG's …
