A gyro-elastic device for cloaking of elastic waves in micro-structured materials (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Garau, M., Nieves, M., Carta, G., & Brun, M. (2019). A gyro-elastic device for cloaking of elastic waves in micro-structured materials. . https://doi.org/10.1109/MetaMaterials.2019.8900841

The design of a structured gyro-elastic system capable of being used as a cloaking device for a discrete medium is discussed. The efficiency of the gyro-elastic cloak, composed of springs connecting periodically placed masses, attached to gyroscopic...

Effects of pre-stretch, compressibility and material constitution on the period-doubling secondary bifurcation of a film/substrate bilayer (2019)
Journal Article
Cai, Z., & Fu, Y. (2019). Effects of pre-stretch, compressibility and material constitution on the period-doubling secondary bifurcation of a film/substrate bilayer. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 11 -19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2019.05.001

We refine a previously proposed semi-analytical method, and use it to study the effects of pre-stretch, compressibility and material constitution on the period-doubling secondary bifurcation of a uni-axially compressed film/substrate bilayer structur...

An Ill-posed Cauchy Type Problem for an Elastic Strip (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). An Ill-posed Cauchy Type Problem for an Elastic Strip. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids,

This study deals with an incorrectly posed, plane elasticity, boundary value problem for a strip. The strip is loaded by a concentrated load of known intensity applied to one side and the displacements on this side are also known. The problem is ther...

Layer formation and relaminarisation in plane Couette flow with spanwise stratification (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Layer formation and relaminarisation in plane Couette flow with spanwise stratification. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 97-118. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2019.192

In this paper we investigate the effect of stable stratification on plane Couette flow when gravity is oriented in the spanwise direction. When the flow is turbulent we observe near-wall layering and associated new mean flows in the form of large-sca...
