Nonlinear Mechanics of Biopolymer Networks
The progress of modern biology demands an interdisciplinary approach to research, bridging the gap between previously disparate fields. This thesis presents a study of the elasticity and microstructure of neurofilaments, which are the primary constituents of neurons, providing the essential mechanical support to resist external stresses. To probe the underlying mechanical properties of neurofil...
متن کاملMechanically-controlled criticality in fiber networks
Disordered fiber networks are ubiquitous in nature as major structural components of living cells and tissues. The mechanical stability of networks generally depends on the degree of connectivity: networks become stable only when the average number of connections between nodes exceeds the isostatic threshold [123]. Upon increasing the connectivity through this point, such networks undergo a mec...
متن کاملNonlinear mechanics of soft fibrous networks.
Mechanical networks of fibres arise on a range of scales in nature and technology, from the cytoskeleton of a cell to blood clots, from textiles and felts to skin and collageneous tissues. Their collective response is dependent on the individual response of the constituent filaments as well as density, topology and order in the network. Here, we use the example of a low-density synthetic felt o...
متن کاملCriticality in a Fibre - Bundle type model
The dynamics of a fibre-bundle type model with equal load sharing rule is numerically studied. The system, formed by N elements, is driven by a slow increase of the load upon it which is removed in a novel way through internal transfers to the elements broken during avalanches. When an avalanche ends, failed elements are regenerated with strengths taken from a probability distribution. For a la...
متن کاملNonlinear Vibration Analysis of the Composite Cable using Perturbation Method and the Green-Lagrangian Nonlinear Strain
In this study, nonlinear vibration of a composite cable is investigated by considering nonlinear stress-strain relations. The composite cable is composed of an aluminum wire as reinforcement and a rubber coating as matrix. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived about to an initial curve and based on the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and the nonlinear Green-Lagrangian stra...
