Uniaxial poroelastic tendon model with crimped fibre recruitment
Zoe C. Godard, Sarah L. Waters, Derek E. Moulton
Fibre recruitment plays an important role in tendon and other biological soft tissue mechanics. Due to their large water content, a popular modelling approach for tendons is poroel…
Cyclic loading of a heterogeneous non-linear poroelastic material
Zoe C. Godard, Derek E. Moulton, Sarah L. Waters
Cyclic loading is a common feature in poroelastic systems, the material response depending non-trivially on the exact form of boundary conditions, pore structure, and mechanical pr…
Uncovering flow and deformation regimes in the coupled fluid-solid vestibular system
Javier Chico-Vázquez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
In this paper, we showcase how flow obstruction by a deformable object can lead to symmetry breaking in curved domains subject to angular acceleration. Our analysis is motivated by…
Minimal activation with maximal reach: Reachability clouds of bio-inspired slender manipulators
Bartosz Kaczmarski, Derek E. Moulton, Alain Goriely +1
In the field of soft robotics, flexibility, adaptability, and functionality define a new era of robotic systems that can safely deform, reach, and grasp. To optimize the design of…
Minimal design of the elephant trunk as an active filament
Bartosz Kaczmarski, Sophie Leanza, Renee Zhao +3
One of the key problems in active materials is the control of shape through actuation. A fascinating example of such control is the elephant trunk, a long, muscular, and extremely…
The role of mechanics in the growth and homeostasis of the intestinal crypt
Axel A. Almet, Helen M. Byrne, Philip K. Maini +1
We present a mechanical model of tissue homeostasis that is specialised to the intestinal crypt. Growth and deformation of the crypt, idealised as a line of cells on a substrate, a…
