    • Dynamics of ice stream temporal variability: Modes, scales, and hysteresis 

      Robel, Alexander Abram; DeGiuli, E.; Schoof, C.; Tziperman, Eli (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
      Understanding the mechanisms governing temporal variability of ice stream flow remains one of the major barriers to developing accurate models of ice sheet dynamics and ice‒climate interactions. Here we analyze a simple ...

    • Electromechanical Catastrophe 

      Lu, Tongqing; Cheng, Sibo; Li, Tiefeng; Wang, Tiejun; Suo, Zhigang (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2016)
      A transducer is a system that couples two loads. For example, an electromechanical transducer couples a mechanical force and an electrical voltage. A two-load, nonlinear system can exhibit rich behavior of bifurcation, ...

    • Necking Modes in Multilayers and their Influence on Tearing Toughness 

      Hutchinson, John W. (SAGE Publications, 2013)
      Periodic bifurcation modes that occur in ductile multilayered plates or sheets stretched in plane strain tension are analyzed to reveal whether necks are likely to localize at the scale of the thickness of individual layers ...

    • Wrinkling Phenomena in Neo-Hookean Film/Substrate Bilayers 

      Cao, Yanping; Hutchinson, John W. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)
      Wrinkling modes are determined for a two-layer system comprised of a neo-Hookean film bonded to an infinitely deep neo-Hookean substrate with the entire bilayer undergoing compression. The full range of the film/substrate ...
