    • Extrusion, slide, and rupture of an elastomeric seal 

      Wang, Zhengjin; Chen, Chao; Liu, Qihan; Lou, Yucun; Suo, Zhigang (Elsevier BV, 2017)
      Elastomeric seals are essential to two great technological advances in oilfields: horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This paper describes a method to study elastomeric seals by using the pressure-extrusion curve ...

    • Inorganic Islands on a Highly Stretchable Polyimide Substrate 

      Sun, Jeong-Yun; Lu, Nanshu; Yoon, Juil; Oh, Kyu-Hwan; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Materials Research Society, 2009)
      For a flexible electronic device integrating inorganic materials on a polymer substrate, the polymer can deform substantially, but the inorganic materials usually fracture at small strains. This paper describes an approach ...

    • Mechanisms and Implications of Fracture in Cardiovascular Stents 

      Everett, Kay Dee Furman (2014-06-06)
      Cardiovascular stents are one of the most widely implanted medical devices, with over 1 million implanted each year in the United States alone. While stent failure modes of restenosis and thrombosis have been widely examined, ...

    • Variation of stress with charging rate due to strain-rate sensitivity of silicon electrodes of Li-ion batteries 

      Pharr, Matt Mathews; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Elsevier BV, 2014)
      Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its enormous theoretical energy density. Fracture during electrochemical cycling has limited the practical viability of silicon electrodes, but recent ...
