Elastic response of filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks.
Experiments have shown that elasticity of disordered filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks is very different from networks with rigid crosslinks. Here, we model and analyze filamentous networks as a collection of randomly oriented rigid filaments connected to each other by flexible crosslinks that are modeled as wormlike chains. For relatively large extensions we allow for enthalpic st...
متن کاملElasticity of 3D networks with rigid filaments and compliant crosslinks.
Disordered filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks exhibit a low linear elastic shear modulus at small strains, but stiffen dramatically at high strains. Experiments have shown that the elastic modulus can increase by up to three orders of magnitude while the networks withstand relatively large stresses without rupturing. Here, we perform an analytical and numerical study on model networ...
متن کاملLinkage factors optimization of Multi-outputs of compliant mechanism using Response Surface
This paper presents a linkage factors synthesis and multi-level optimization technique for bi-stable compliant mechanism. The linkage synthesis problem is modeled as multiple level factors and responses optimization problem with constraints. The bi-stable compliant mechanism is modeled as a crank slider mechanism using pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM). The model exerts the large deflection of fle...
متن کاملElastic response of bilayers with intrinsic proteins.
Intrinsic membrane proteins affect the ordering of neighbouring lipid chains. We have used a model of protein-lipid interactions in bilayers proposed by Owicki et al. (Owicki, J.C., Springgate, M.W. and McConnell, H.M. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 1616-1619) to show that near the lipid phase transition this effect may significantly increase the magnitude of a membrane's lateral comp...
متن کاملViscoelastic properties of vimentin compared with other filamentous biopolymer networks
The cytoplasm of vertebrate cells contains three distinct filamentous biopolymers, the microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. The basic structural elements of these three filaments are linear polymers of the proteins tubulin, actin, and vimentin or another related intermediate filament protein, respectively. The viscoelastic properties of cytoplasmic filaments are likely to b...
