Elasticity 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 کاملElastic 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 کاملForce generation by Myosin II Filaments in Compliant Networks
Myosin II isoforms with varying mechanochemistry and filament size interact with filamentous actin (F-actin) networks to generate contractile forces in muscle and non-muscle cells. How their properties control force production in environments with varying stiffness remains poorly understood. Here, we incorporated literature values for biophysical properties of myosin II isoforms into a cross-br...
متن کاملOn Rigid and Infinitesimal Rigid Displacements in Three-Dimensional Elasticity
Let Ω be an open connected subset of R and letΘ be an immersion from Ω into R. It is first established that the set formed by all rigid displacements, i.e., that preserve the metric, of the open set Θ(Ω) is a submanifold of dimension 6 and of class C∞ of the space H(Ω). It is then shown that the vector space formed by all the infinitesimal rigid displacements of the same set Θ(Ω) is nothing but...
متن کاملElasticity of two-dimensional filaments with constant spontaneous curvature.
We study the mechanical property of a two-dimensional filament with constant spontaneous curvature and under uniaxial applied force. We derive the equation that governs the stable shape of the filament and obtain analytical solutions for the equation. We find that for a long filament with positive initial azimuth angle (the azimuth angle is the angle between x axis and the tangent of the filame...
