Paper published
Stefanie's, Rob's and Eric's paper on Strain Stiffening Elastomers With Swelling Inclusions is now published in Soft Matter.
Congratulations to all authors!
The paper provides a generic analysis of inhomogeneously swollen elastomers. Computation of the macroscopic effective stiffness, as well as an in-depth quantification of local stiffness maps allows for a further exploration of the novel design space of hydroelastomers.
