Multiscale modeling of viscoelastic plant tissue
We present a multiscale method for the simulation of large viscoelastic deformations and show its applicability to biological tissue such as plant tissue. At the microscopic level we use a particle method to model the geometrical structure and basic properties of individual cells. The cell fluid, modeled as a viscoelastic fluid by means of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is enclosed in an...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Viscoelastic Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites
A methodology for simple multiscale modeling of mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites has been developed. This methodology consists of three steps: (1) obtaining from molecular dynamics simulations the viscoelastic properties of the bulklike polymer and approximating the position-dependent shear modulus of the interfacial polymer on the basis of the polymer-bead mean-square displaceme...
متن کاملA Multiscale Mechanical Model for Plant Tissue Stiffness
Plant petioles and stems are hierarchical cellular structures, displaying structural features defined at multiple length scales. The current work focuses on the multi-scale modelling of plant tissue, considering two orders of structural hierarchy, cell wall and tissue. The stiffness of plant tissue is largely governed by the geometry of the tissue cells, the composition of the cell wall and the...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Impact on Heterogeneous Viscoelastic Solids with Evolving Microcracks
Multiscale computational techniques play a major role in solving problems related to viscoelas-tic composite materials due to the complexities inherent to these materials. In the present work, a numerical procedure for multiscale modeling of impact on heterogeneous viscoelastic solids containing evolving microcracks is proposed in which the (global scale) homogenized viscoelastic incremental co...
متن کاملModeling viscoelastic dielectrics
Dielectric elastomers, as an important category of electroactive polymers, are known to have viscoelastic properties that strongly affect their dynamic performance and limit their applications. Very few models accounting for the effects of both electrostatics and viscoelasticity exist in the literature, and even fewer are capable of making reliable predictions under general loads and constraint...
