title = "Compression of elastic-perfectly plastic microcapsules using micromanipulation and finite element modelling: Determination of the yield stress",
abstract = "Finite elements modelling (FEM) is used to simulate the compression response of core-shell microcapsules with an elastic-perfectly plastic wall material. Three methods are presented to calculate the yield stress of the material from experimental compression force curves. Dry melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules compressed using a micromanipulation technique were used as experimental validation. The calculated yield stress with the different methods all agreed within sample variability, at ~130. MPa.",
