Strain hardening, avalanches, and strain softening in dense cross-linked actin networks.
Actin filament networks enable the cytoskeleton to adjust to internal and external forcing. These dynamic networks can adapt to changes by dynamically adjusting their cross-links. Here, we model actin filaments as cross-linked elastic fibers of finite dimensions, with the cross-links being approximately 1 mum apart, and employ a full three-dimensional model to study their elastic properties by ...
متن کاملMicrovoid formation and strain hardening in highly cross-linked polymer networks.
Using molecular dynamics simulations of a generic model, we observe strain hardening in highly cross-linked polymer glasses under tensile deformation. We show that formation of microvoids, without bond breaking, constitutes the microscopic origins of strain hardening. A well-defined functional form is observed for the void size distribution that is consistent with voids in dense equilibrium Len...
متن کاملMechanism of Shear Thickening in Reversibly Cross-linked Supramolecular Polymer Networks.
We report here the nonlinear rheological properties of metallo-supramolecular networks formed by the reversible cross-linking of semi-dilute unentangled solutions of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The reversible cross-linkers are bis-Pd(II) or bis-Pt(II) complexes that coordinate to the pyridine functional groups on the PVP. Under steady shear, shear thickening is obs...
متن کاملFrictional Strain Hardening-softening in Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Arching Effect
In the current paper the results of a numerical simulation that were verified by a well instrumented experimental procedure for studying the arching effect over a trapdoor in sand is presented. To simulate this phenomenon with continuum mechanics, the experimental procedure is modeled in ABAQUS code using stress dependent hardening in elastic state and plastic strain dependent frictional harden...
متن کاملMolecular origin of strain softening in cross-linked F-actin networks.
Two types of measurement are presented that relate molecular events to macroscopic behavior of F-actin networks. First, shear modulus is measured by oscillating an embedded microbead. Second, a microbead is translated at constant rate and transitions in the resisting force are observed. The loading rate dependence of the force at the transitions is similar to that of the molecular unbinding for...
