In this paper, we present a mixed displacement–pressure finite element formulation that can successively model compressible as well as truly incompressible behaviour in growth-induced deformations significantly observed in soft materials. Inf–sup sta... Read More about On the advantages of mixed formulation and higher-order elements for computational morphoelasticity.

Electro-active polymers (EAPs) are increasingly becoming popular materials for actuators, sensors, and energy harvesters. To simulate the complex behaviour of actuators under coupled loads, particularly in the realm of soft robotics, biomedical engin...

This paper presents a staggered scheme with second-order temporal accuracy for fluid–structure interaction problems involving ultra-lightweight rigid bodies. The staggered scheme is based on the Dirichlet–Neumann coupling and is non-intrusive. First,...

New iterative and staggered solution schemes for incompressible fluid‐structure interaction based on Dirichlet‐Neumann coupling (2020)
Journal Article
Dettmer, S. G., Lovrić, A., Kadapa, C., & Perić, D. (2021). New iterative and staggered solution schemes for incompressible fluid‐structure interaction based on Dirichlet‐Neumann coupling. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering,

In the presence of strong added mass effects, partitioned solution strategies for incompressible fluid-structure interaction are known to lack robustness and computational efficiency. A number of strategies have been proposed to address this challeng...

We propose a novel mixed displacement-pressure formulation based on an energy functional that takes into account the relation between the pressure and the volumetric energy function. We demonstrate that the proposed two-field mixed displacement-press... Read More about A linearized consistent mixed displacement-pressure formulation for hyperelasticity.
