2023/05: New “Soft Matter” paper: Finite element analysis for inertial cavitation in soft materials

Our new paper is accepted by Soft Matter: “Modeling high strain-rate microcavitation in soft materials: The role of material behavior in bubble dynamics”. In this paper, we developed a novel finite element (FE) framework to simulate large-finite-deformation, high-rate inertial cavitation phenomena in soft materials, which can be further utilized to understand and guide lots of relevant high-rate engineering and biomedical applications, i.e., laser and ultrasound-related medical surgery. A preprint link is available here and here (ResearchGate link). An open-source FE code is available on GitHub (see here). Congratulations to all the collaborators!
