Characterizing the elastic properties of soft materials through bulge testing relies on accurate measurement of deformation, which is experimentally challenging. To avoid measuring deformation, we propose a hydrodynamic bulge test for characterizing the material properties of thick, pre-stressed elastic sheets via their fluid--structure interaction with a steady viscous fluid flow. Specifically, the hydrodynamic bulge test relies on a pressure drop measurement across a rectangular microchannel with a deformable top wall. We develop a mathematical model using first-order shear-deformation theory of plates with stretching, and the lubrication approximation for Newtonian fluid flow. Specifically, a relationship is derived between the imposed flow rate and the total pressure drop. Then, this relationship is inverted numerically to yield estimates of the Youngs modulus (given the Poisson ratio), if the pressure drop is measured (given the steady flow rate). Direct numerical simulations of two-way-coupled fluid--structure interaction are carried out in ANSYS to determine the cross-sectional membrane deformation and the hydrodynamic pressure distribution. Taking the simulations as ``ground truth, a hydrodynamic bulge test is performed using the simulation data to ascertain the accuracy and validity of the proposed methodology for estimating material properties. An error propagation analysis is performed via Monte Carlo simulation to characterize the susceptibility of the hydrodynamic bulge test estimates to noise. We find that, while a hydrodynamic bulge test is less accurate in characterizing material properties, it is less susceptible to noise, in the input (measured) variable, than a hydrostatic bulge test.

Randomly crumpled sheets have shape memory. In order to understand the basis of this form of memory, we simulate triangular lattices of springs whose lengths are altered to create a topography with multiple potential energy minima. We then deform the
se lattices into different shapes and investigate their ability to retain the imposed shape when the energy is relaxed. The lattices are able to retain a range of curvatures. Under moderate forcing from a state of local equilibrium, the lattices deform by several percent but return to their retained shape when the forces are removed. By increasing the forcing until an irreversible motion occurs, we find that the transitions between remembered shapes show co-operativity among several springs. For fixed lattice structures, the shape memory tends to decrease as the lattice is enlarged; we propose ways to counter this decrease by modifying the lattice geometry. We survey the energy landscape by displacing individual nodes. An extensive fraction of these nodes proves to be bistable; they retain their displaced position when the energy is relaxed. Bending the lattice to a stable curved state alters the pattern of bistable nodes. We discuss this shapeability in the context of other forms of material memory and contrast it with the shapeability of plastic deformation. We outline the prospects for making real materials based on these principles.
Atomistic simulations are employed to study structural evolution of pore ensembles in binary glasses under periodic shear deformation with varied amplitude. The consideration is given to porous systems in the limit of low porosity. The initial ensemb
les of pores are comprised of multiple pores with small sizes, which are approximately normally distributed. As periodic loading proceeds, the ensembles evolve into configurations with a few large-scale pores and significantly reduced number of small pores. These structural changes are reflected in the skewed shapes of the pore-size distribution functions and the appearance of a distinct peak at large length scales after hundreds of shear cycles. Moreover, periodic shear causes substantial densification of solid domains in the porous systems. The structural evolution of pore ensembles is found to stem from the formation of shear-band like regions of enhanced particle mobility after a number of transient cycles. The spatial extent of increased mobility depends strongly on the strain amplitude. A scaling theory is developed to qualitatively describe the transformation of the pore initial configurations of small-size voids into larger-scale void agglomerates.
The molecular rearrangements of most fluids under flow and deformation do not directly follow the macroscopic strain field. In this work, we describe a phenomenological method for characterizing such non-affine deformation via the anisotropic pair di
stribution function (PDF). We demonstrate now the microscopic strain can be calculated in both simple shear and uniaxial extension, by perturbation expansion of anisotropic PDF in terms of real spherical harmonics. Our results, given in the real as well as the reciprocal space, can be applied in spectrum analysis of small-angle scattering experiments and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of soft matter under flow.
The theory of quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) is modified and developed for transversely isotropic (TI) materials under finite deformation. For the first time, distinct relaxation responses are incorporated into an integral formulation of nonlinea
r viscoelasticity, according to the physical mode of deformation. The theory is consistent with linear viscoelasticity in the small strain limit and makes use of relaxation functions that can be determined from small-strain experiments, given the time/deformation separability assumption. After considering the general constitutive form applicable to compressible materials, attention is restricted to incompressible media. This enables a compact form for the constitutive relation to be derived, which is used to illustrate the behaviour of the model under three key deformations: uniaxial extension, transverse shear and longitudinal shear. Finally, it is demonstrated that the Poynting effect is present in transversely isotropic, neo-Hookean, modified QLV materials under transverse shear, in contrast to neo-Hookean elastic materials subjected to the same deformation. Its presence is explained by the anisotropic relaxation response of the medium.
A model is proposed that considers aging and rejuvenation in a soft glassy material as respectively a decrease and an increase in free energy. The aging term is weighted by inverse of characteristic relaxation time suggesting greater mobility of the
constituents induce faster aging in a material. A dependence of relaxation time on free energy is proposed, which under quiescent conditions, leads to power law dependence of relaxation time on waiting time as observed experimentally. The model considers two cases namely, a constant modulus when aging is entropy controlled and a time dependent modulus. In the former and the latter cases the model has respectively two and three experimentally measurable parameters that are physically meaningful. Overall the model predicts how material undergoes aging and approaches rejuvenated state under application of deformation field. Particularly model proposes distinction between various kinds of rheological effects for different combinations of parameters. Interestingly, when relaxation time evolves stronger than linear, the model predicts various features observed in soft glassy materials such as thixotropic and constant yield stress, thixotropic shear banding, and presence of residual stress and strain.
