A Biopolymer-Inspired Study on the Poynting Effect of Isotropic Materials

In recent times, soft matter has gained significant interest among researchers in the fields of biomechanics and biomedicine, especially in areas like soft robotics and biopolymers, due to its remarkable ability to undergo substantial deformations. Soft robotics often requires materials that can flexibly adapt to or mimic the movements of living...

Strain Softening: Linear and nonlinear response of weakly attractive soft particles

Emulsions and foams are commonly found in products made by industries ranging from those<br/>associated with food and pharmaceuticals to those involved in selling personal care products.<br/>This work is motivated by the need for accurate models of their mechanics, which can then be<br/>used for efficient processing.<br/><br/>They can be thought...
