This work offers a comprehensive overview of how gravity affects soft materials, with a
particular emphasis on gravity‐induced instability. Soft materials, including biological …

Soft biological tissues often exhibit notable strain stiffening under increasing stretch, and this
can have significant effects on tissue growth and morphological development, such as …

Pattern selection and subsequent morphological evolution are of remarkable significance,
since they are critical for living creatures to fulfill certain biological functions and also have …

Abnormal colorectal biomechanics and mechanotransduction associate with an array of
gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome …

Real-world solids, such as rocks, soft tissues and engineering materials, are often under
some form of stress. Most real materials are also, to some degree, anisotropic due to their …

Dielectric elastomers (DEs) have been widely used in soft robotics, high-performance
actuators, and bioengineering. However, they may suffer from more failure modes than pure …

A model for residually stressed viscoelastic bodies undergoing finite deformations is
developed and applied to the study of time-dependent responses of spheres and cylinders …

Residual stresses may exist in different finitely deformed soft multifunctional materials such
as in electro-active and magneto-active polymers. In order to develop accurate constitutive …

High-rate loading induced cavitation of soft materials, including brain and muscle, has
increasingly been studied due to its importance in a variety of biomedical applications, such …

Surface morphological instability, induced by geometric incompatibility, is ubiquitous in
nature and plays a pivotal role in maintaining specific biological functions in organs. In this …
