2017 BRC Topic # 1 - A Multiscale Theoretical and Experimental Platform for Understanding Cavitation Deformation Dynamics
Abstract
Cavitation has been studied classically in fluids, but far less in soft solids. our team has extensive experience in cavitation of gels and tissues; however, measured results often differ from theory, particularly for materials heterogeneous on small size scales (sub-cm). We will combine continuum and molecular theory, soft materials mechanics, and polymer chemistry to develop models that relate cavitation dynamics to materials structure, from nm to cm, across times from nano- to milli-seconds.
