Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) proliferate within superficial bladder umbrella cells
to form intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) during early stages of urinary tract …

Rapid energy‐efficient movements are one of nature's greatest developments. Mechanisms
like snap‐buckling allow plants like the Venus flytrap to close the terminal lobes of their …

Numerous recent research efforts have leveraged networks of rigid struts and flexible
cables, called tensegrity structures, to create highly resilient and packable mobile robots …

Living membranes can grow as a response to their environment, and they are also known as
viscoelastic materials. However, the growth phenomenon and the viscoelastic behavior of …

The effective dynamic properties of specific periodic structures involving rubber-like
materials can be adjusted by pre-strain, thus facilitating the design of custom acoustic filters …

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 …

The small amplitude dynamic response of materials can be tuned by employing
inhomogeneous materials capable of large deformation. However, soft materials generally …

Stochastic elasticity is a fast developing field that combines nonlinear elasticity and
stochastic theories in order to significantly improve model predictions by accounting for …

Soft robots have morphological characteristics that make them preferred candidates, over
their traditionally rigid counterparts, for executing physical interaction tasks with the …

Soft tissues exhibit complex viscoelastic behavior, including strain-rate dependence,
hysteresis, and strain-dependent relaxation. In this paper, a model for soft tissue …
