The stability and post-bifurcation of a non-linear magnetoelastic film/substrate block is
experimentally exploited to obtain active control of surface roughness. The non-intuitive …

A soft solid subjected to a large compression develops sharp self-contacting folds at its free
surface, known as creases. Creasing is physically different from structural elastic …

Creasing instability is ubiquitous in soft solids; however, its inception remains enigmatic as it
cannot be captured by the standard linearization techniques. It also does not fit the …

We argue that nucleation of brittle cracks in initially flawless soft elastic solids is preceded by
a nonlinear elastic instability, which cannot be captured without accounting for geometrically …

Plastic deformations in crystals produce microstructures with randomly oriented patches of
unstressed lattice forming complex textures. We use a mesoscopic Landau-type tensorial …

Stress-induced phase transformations in elastic solids with circular or elliptical holes as
stress concentrators are considered. The evolution of the interface is described by a kinetic …

In the current work we consider a chemical reaction localized on the sharp interface
between a solid and a diffusive constituent. The driving force for the reaction front …

Necessary and sufficient elastic stability conditions for single crystals for the seven crystal
systems are specified for both stiffness and compliance tensors. For Laue classes of four of …

In the variational problems involving non-convex integral functionals, finding the binodal, the
boundary of validity of the quasiconvexity of the energy density, is of central importance. We …

We address the fundamental difference between solid-solid and liquid-liquid phase
transitions within the Ericksen's nonlinear elasticity paradigm. To highlight ideas, we …
