Journal Article
Li, Z., Wang, J., Hossain, M., & Kadapa, C. (2023). A general theoretical scheme for shape-programming of incompressible hyperelastic shells through differential growth. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 255-256, Article 112128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2023.112128

In this paper, we study the problem of shape-programming of incompressible hyperelastic shells through differential growth. The aim of the current work is to determine one of the possible growth tensors (or growth functions) that can produce the defo...

A comprehensive assessment of accuracy of adaptive integration of cut cells for laminar fluid-structure interaction problems (2022)
Journal Article
Kadapa, C., Wang, X., & Mei, Y. (2022). A comprehensive assessment of accuracy of adaptive integration of cut cells for laminar fluid-structure interaction problems. Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 122, 1-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.camwa.2022.07.006

Finite element methods based on cut-cells are becoming increasingly popular because of their advantages over formulations based on body-fitted meshes for problems with moving interfaces. In such methods, the cells (or elements) which are cut by the i...

A short review of vapour droplet dispersion models used in CFD to study the airborne spread of COVID19 (2022)
Journal Article
Mehade Hussain, S., Goel, S., Kadapa, C., & Aristodemou, E. (2022). A short review of vapour droplet dispersion models used in CFD to study the airborne spread of COVID19. Materials Today: Proceedings, 64(3), 1349-1356. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matpr.2022.03.724

The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the spread of COVID19 and many other airborne diseases, especially in an indoor environment needs accurate understanding of dispersion models. Modelling the transport/dispersion of vapour drop... Read More about A short review of vapour droplet dispersion models used in CFD to study the airborne spread of COVID19.

A unified numerical approach for soft to hard magneto-viscoelastically coupled polymers (2022)
Journal Article

The last decade has witnessed the emergence of magneto-active polymers (MAPs) as one of the most advanced multi-functional soft composites. Depending on the magnetisation mechanisms and responsive behaviour, MAPs are mainly classified as hard magneti...

Analytical study on growth-induced axisymmetric deformations and shape-control of circular hyperelastic plates (2021)
Journal Article
Li, Z., Wang, Q., Du, P., Kadapa, C., Hossain, M., & Wang, J. (2022). Analytical study on growth-induced axisymmetric deformations and shape-control of circular hyperelastic plates. International Journal of Engineering Science, 170, Article 103594. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2021.103594

Growth of soft material plates is commonly observed in nature. However, the relations between growth fields and shape changes of the plate samples remain poorly understood. The current work aims to derive some analytical results for the growth-induce...

Vortex-induced vibrations are often unwanted as they can lead to catastrophic failure of the associated structures, warranting countermeasures to mitigate or suppress these vibrations. Due to the nature of nonlinearities in fluid–structure interactio...
