Mean field elastic moduli of a three-dimensional cell-based vertex model

Kyungeun Kim, Tao Zhang, J. M. Schwarz

The mechanics of a foam typically depends on the bubble geometry, topology, and the material at hand, be it metallic or polymeric, for example. While the foam energy functional for…

Rigidity transitions in zero-temperature polygons

M. C. Gandikota, Amanda Parker, J. M. Schwarz

We study geometrical clues of a rigidity transition due to the emergence of a system-spanning state of self stress in under-constrained systems of individual polygons and spring ne…

A topologically-protected interior for three-dimensional confluent cellular collectives

Tao Zhang, J. M. Schwarz

Organoids are in vitro cellular collectives from which brain-like, or gut-like, or kidney-like structures emerge. To make quantitative predictions regarding the morphology and rheo…

Propagating irreversibility fronts in cyclically-sheared suspensions

Jikai Wang, J. M. Schwarz, Joseph D. Paulsen

The interface separating a liquid from its vapor phase is diffuse: the composition varies continuously from one phase to the other over a finite length. Recent experiments on dynam…

Effective medium theory of random regular networks

Ojan Khatib Damavandi, M. Lisa Manning, J. M. Schwarz

Disordered spring networks can exhibit rigidity transitions, due to either the removal of materials in over-constrained networks or the application of strain in under-constrained o…

The role of vimentin-nuclear interactions in persistent cell motility through confined spaces

Sarthak Gupta, Alison E. Patteson, J. M. Schwarz

The ability of cells to move through small spaces depends on the mechanical properties of the cellular cytoskeleton and on nuclear deformability. In mammalian cells, the cytoskelet…
