Globally, cardiovascular diseases are seen as one of the largest economic burdens on
society and the single largest cause of death, with atherosclerosis the leading cause of …

Large deformations of soft materials can give rise to the development of various elastic
instabilities. The phenomenon is associated with a sudden and dramatic change in structure …

Topological phononic crystals have attracted intensive attention due to their peculiar
topologically protected interface or edge states. Their operating frequency, however, is …

In this paper, we investigate the post-buckling development of instability-induced patterns in
soft particulate composites. Upon reaching the critical strain level, the composite …

In this work, we study the macroscopic and microscopic instabilities in 2D incompressible
nacre-like composite materials induced by uniaxial loadings. The interchange between …

Multiscale techniques have been widely shown to potentially overcome the limitation of
homogenization schemes in representing the microscopic failure mechanisms in …

One of the most high-risk locations of plaque growth and rupture initiation (and hence
occurrence of heart attack) is the first main bifurcation of the left main coronary artery; the …

We experimentally and numerically investigate instability-induced pattern transformations
and switchable auxetic behavior in multiphase composites consisted of circular voids and …

In this paper, we investigated elastic instabilities in soft particulate composites under finite
strains. Through our numerical analysis, we find distinct instability modes developing in the …

This work investigates the interplay between viscoelasticity and instabilities in soft
particulate composites undergoing finite deformation. The composite is subjected to in-plane …
