Field theory for mechanical criticality in disordered fiber networks
Sihan Chen, Tomer Markovich, Fred C. MacKintosh
Strain-controlled criticality governs the elasticity of jamming and fiber networks. While the upper critical dimension of jamming is believed to be =2, non mean-field exponent…
Elastic regimes of sub-isostatic athermal fiber networks
Albert James Licup, Abhinav Sharma, Fred C. MacKintosh
Athermal models of disordered fibrous networks are highly useful for studying the mechanics of elastic networks composed of stiff biopolymers. The underlying network architecture i…
On-site residence time in a driven diffusive system: violation and recovery of mean-field
Joris J. B. Messelink, Robbie Rens, Mahsa Vahabi +2
We investigate simple one-dimensional driven diffusive systems with open boundaries. We are interested in the average on-site residence time defined as the time a particle spends o…
Stability and anomalous entropic elasticity of sub isostatic random-bond networks
Manon C. Wigbers, Fred C. MacKintosh, Matthew Dennison
We study the elasticity of thermalized spring networks under an applied bulk strain. The networks considered are sub-isostatic random-bond networks that, in the athermal limit, are…
Anomalous discontinuity at the percolation critical point of active gels
M. Sheinman, A. Sharma, J. Alvarado +2
We develop a percolation model motivated by recent experimental studies of gels with active network remodeling by molecular motors. This remodeling was found to lead to a critical…
Elastic response of filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks
A. Sharma, M. Sheinman, K. M. Heidemann +1
Experiments have shown that elasticity of disordered filamentous networks with compliant crosslinks is very different from networks with rigid crosslinks. Here, we model and analyz…
