Instabilities in solids and structures are ubiquitous across all length and time scales, and
engineering design principles have commonly aimed at preventing instability. However …

The objective of this contribution is to present a unifying review on strain-driven
computational homogenization at finite strains, thereby elaborating on computational …

This work makes use of a recently developed “second-order” homogenization model to
investigate failure in porous elasto-plastic solids under general triaxial loading conditions …

Wave propagation in elastomeric materials undergoing large deformations is relevant in
numerous application areas, including nondestructive testing of materials and ultrasound …

The effect of the stress state on the localization of plastic flow in a Levy–von Mises material
is investigated numerically. A unit cell model is built with a spherical central void that acts as …

Acoustic metamaterials have subwavelength characteristics and hence they can be used for
the low-frequency noise and vibration control. Usually, acoustic metamaterials have …

Low density cellular materials may offer excellent mechanical properties and find wide
applicability in lightweight design and infill structures for additive manufacturing, yet …

This paper proposes a new homogenization framework for magnetoelastic composites
accounting for the effect of magnetic dipole interactions, as well as finite strains. In addition …

Experimental observations clearly show that the performance of dielectric elastomeric-based
devices can be considerably improved using composite materials. A critical issue in the …

By introducing a periodic array of pores in an elastic matrix, instabilities with wavelengths
that are of the order of the size of the microstructure can be triggered. Interestingly, these …
