Free energy of self-avoiding polymer chain confined between parallel walls
Marcio S. Gomes-Filho, Eugene M. Terentjev
Understanding and computing the entropic forces exerted by polymer chains under confinement is important for many reasons, from research to applications. However, extracting proper…
Mechanism of pressure sensitive adhesion in nematic elastomers
Hongye Guo, Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev
Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have anomalously high vibration damping, and it has been assumed this is the cause of their anomalously high pressure-sensitive adhesion (P…
Softening of the Hertz indentation contact in nematic elastomers
Ameneh Maghsoodi, Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev +1
Polydomain liquid crystalline (nematic) elastomers have highly unusual mechanical properties, dominated by the dramatically non-linear stress-strain response that reflects stress-i…
Nucleation of cadherin clusters on cell-cell interfaces
Neil Ibata, Eugene M. Terentjev
Cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion and help the cell determine its shape and function. Here we study collective cadherin organization and interactions within cell-cell contact ar…
Sound attenuation derived from quenched disorder in solids
Bingyu Cui, Alessio Zaccone, Eugene Terentjev
In scattering experiments, the dynamical structure factor (DSF) characterizes inter-particle correlations and their time evolution. We analytically evaluated the DSF of disordered…
Why exercise builds muscles: Titin mechanosensing controls skeletal muscle growth under load
Neil Ibata, Eugene M. Terentjev
Muscles sense internally generated and externally applied forces, responding to these in a coordinated hierarchical manner at different time scales. The center of the basic unit of…
