Electroactive differential growth and delayed instability in accelerated healing tissues
Yafei Wang, Zhanfeng Li, Xingmei Chen +9
Guided by experiments contrasting electrically accelerated recovery with natural healing, this study formulates a model to investigate the importance of electroactive differential…
Connecting weakly nonlinear elasticity theories of isotropic hyperelastic materials
Yangkun Du, Nicholas A Hill, XIaoyu Luo
Soft materials exhibit significant nonlinear geometric deformations and stress-strain relationships under external forces. This paper explores weakly nonlinear elasticity theories,…
Influence of initial residual stress on growth and pattern creation for a layered aorta
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Michel Destrade +1
Residual stress is ubiquitous and indispensable in most biological and artificial materials, where it sustains and optimizes many biological and functional mechanisms. The theory o…
Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Congshan Liu +5
Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experim…
Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state
Yangkun Du, Chaofeng Lü, Weiqiu Chen +1
The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumptio…
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
Yangkun Du, Yipin Su, Chaofeng Lu +2
Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pat…
