    • Identifying a Minimal Rheological Configuration: A Tool for Effective and Efficient Constitutive Modeling of Soft Tissues 

      Jordan, Petr; Kerdok, Amy E.; Howe, Robert D.; Socrate, Simona (ASME International, 2011)
      We describe a modeling methodology intended as a preliminary step in the identification of appropriate constitutive frameworks for the time-dependent response of biological tissues. The modeling approach comprises a ...
    • Mechanics of Electrodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries 

      Zhao, Kejie (2013-03-05)
      This thesis investigates the mechanical behavior of electrodes in Li-ion batteries. Each electrode in a Li-ion battery consists of host atoms and guest atoms (Li atoms). The host atoms form a framework, into which Li atoms ...
    • Peridynamic Modeling of Ruptures in Biomembranes 

      Taylor, Michael; Gözen, Irep; Patel, Samir; Jesorka, Aldo; Bertoldi, Katia (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      We simulate the formation of spontaneous ruptures in supported phospholipid double bilayer membranes, using peridynamic modeling. Experiments performed on spreading double bilayers typically show two distinct kinds of ...
