Stiff Polymers, Foams and Fiber Networks
Claus Heussinger, Erwin Frey
We study the elasticity of fibrous materials composed of generalized stiff polymers. It is shown that in contrast to cellular foam-like structures affine strain fields are generica…

Propagation and Relaxation of Tension in Stiff Polymers
Oskar Hallatschek, Erwin Frey, Klaus Kroy
We present a unified theory for the longitudinal dynamic response of a stiff polymer in solution to various external perturbations (mechanical excitations, hydrodynamic flows, elec…
