An energy-optimization method to study gel-swelling in confinement
Abstract
Using our open-source programming environment Morpho, an energy-optimization method is developed to compute equilibrium shapes of an arbitrarily confined swollen hydrogel. The internal strains and contact forces are measured, probing its mechanics.
